Indoor public sport event with a flash pictures

That's just great as I always try to take pictures as 100 iso. I know the 5d can do 50iso but that's just a software fake like the 40d can do 3200 iso at double something at 1600. Anyway, that's a bit off topic, but thank you alot for the precision, I didnt knew that.





What I'm really concerned about is that arena have plastic protective glass. Not that i'm afraid to shoot a receive the puck in the dslr gear, maybe I'll go sit in the players bench to take pictures, there is no protective glass there. But otherwise, I'm sure the flash just bounce there. I think put the flash next too the glass if I can, but that feel a bit unconfortable. is there's any other way to shoot a hockey game in a area? Maybe I'll try to set the flash at 45' so it wont over expose the reflective glass, but there wont be any wall up there to bounce the light.

Well I think you guys are right. I looked at some pictures in google images about hockey and it seem most images where took with a fast aperture lens. I own the 50mm 1.4f (not the L one hehe) and with a iso of about 800 I can take some interesting pictures. I think I'll be a bit shy to go into the chamber door and take a few pictures with my flash, but I think the player will understand that's it to immortelase them. But I as see it now, most commercial pictures of hockey games use fast lens rather than flash for indoor hockey (those protective glasses ... ). Not that I care for the money, I'm an amateur that does it as a hobby, but I learn from professional technique.
