Since lens with high focal distance are generally not that fast and they need high shutter to freeze moving animals, how do they get light without addind too much gain an grain ?

    I shoot sports photography at 500mm, f/8, generally shutter speed of 1/1000, and I set the iso to auto but if it’s day time it never goes too high.

    But in more challenging lighting you can change the shutter speed and aperture down obviously. But like if it’s dark and I reduce the shutter speed to 1/200 or something I might get some bad pictures with motion blur but I’ll still get some okay ones some of the time and it’s either that or just stop taking photos.
