Okay. So maybe this has been asked before or maybe it wold be easier to just Google it...
Can anyone give me run down of what type of photos each lens will take? I use a Canon. I'm okay with the original lens on it and I understand my telephoto lens. I also know that I have to move my feet to get the Pictures I want because I don't have zoom. But I just don't get what all the lens are for or what type of photo they produce? Can anyone help this beginner out?

what lens to you have?
You can use any lens for anything, it really depends on the effect you are going for. An example is you could use a fisheye for portraits if you so wanted, you get a really cool effect.

It would be good to get a good 50mm lens and start shooting. Discover what kind of shots you would like to take that you can't and learn which lens will. In a few years,you will be able to answer your own question.

I use to 50mm now. I love the shots I get but sometimes I feel like the lens is to narrow and not wide enough? I'm just looking for other options of lenses without spending a ton of money to find something I might not like.

if your not sure what you want or how it will work with your camera, I recommend renting lenses to test them out before you purchase.
I do this, has saved me from making a wrong choice at least once (a $1,800 mistake).

Wow! Smart idea! I have thought about that option too, I just haven't looked in to it yet. I'm by no means a professional photography is an art to e its my hobby, so I don't have clients or anything like that where I HAVE to buy/rent a lens. I've always made due with what I have. Thank you for the suggestion I will definitely go that route when looking for a lens

On the cropped sensors (most dSLRs): Wide angles are focal lengths about 20mm and less. The "standard lens" (equivalent to a nifty-fifty on 35mm film) is about 35mm. 50mm and longer are the telephotos. Portraits should be good around 70mm (2x the standard lens).
Wide = landscapes, interior architecture, groups of people. Telephoto = portraits, nature & sports. Standard = good general purpose. Standards typically have large apertures, allowing low-light photos at shutter speeds greater than a sloth's metabolic rate.
