<p>In most arena seats, it will be difficult to avoid the heads of the people in the row in front of you. A few years ago I got tickets in Indianapolis that were in the front row of a small balcony next to a broadcaster's booth. I used a 70-300 zoom lens that was less than 6 inches long at the 70 mm end of the range. I used it mostly at the 300 mm setting and then cropped. This is one of the pictures I shot:<br> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-DhTMfbZ/0/L/i-DhTMfbZ-L.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /><br> There are more here: http://photos.randrews4.com/Sports/20130514-Knicks-v-Pacers/n-phsXw/</p> <p>More recently, I got comped seats in the lower level for a WNBA game. Since the arena wasn't full, I could find a spot where there was no one directly in front of me. I used a 28-300 zoom for this game. It was also less than 6 inches at the wide angle setting. <br> <img src="https://photos.smugmug.com/Sports/20150614-Indiana-Fever/i-T5sjNLc/0/L/20150614_Sky%20vs.%20Fever_5273a-L.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="600" /><br> more here: http://photos.randrews4.com/Sports/20150614-Indiana-Fever/</p> <p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Cell phone cameras have been using LEDs for years. Some are better than others. The ones designed for photography have a color temperature near 5500 K and decent uniformity. Some LED flashlights are very blue and some are not uniform. The only area where LEDs consistently come up short is in stopping motion. They can't compete with a Xenon flash tube for that. </p>

Strange red tint in image when photographing ice hockey games.

<p>There aren't any easy options here. You can:</p> <ul> <li>Go to another arena with better lights</li> <li>Shoot at 1/60th -- maybe tolerable for player introductions, but no good for action.</li> <li>Use a flash (if the venue allows).</li> <li>Shoot lots of bursts and pick the frames that are OK.</li> </ul> <p>Nobody else shooting at this arena will be able to avoid the problem. </p> -
