Photography Question 

Colin Smith 		 

Shooting indoors at a hockey rink without a flash


I am having problems getting the right lighting while trying to take stop motion pictures in a hockey arena without a flash.
I am using a Canon EOS 1D Mark II with a 1/125 shutter speed, f/5.0, and an ISO of 800. The lense I am using is a EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Colin Smith

Kip T. Berger 		  Either bump the ISO up higher, or use a faster lens. Or use flash.

Colin Smith 		  Thanks for the feedback. The rink will not allow the use of a flash as it interferes with the players. I also find that when I increase the ISO I am left with a very grainy image. I tried the noise reduction setting on my Mark II but it did not help at ISO's 3200, 1600, and 1000.

Any other suggestions?
