Research \"dragging the shutter.\"

You would welcome his thoughts? When is that going to happen? airfrogusmc demonstrated how it\'s done with a bunch of event photos, then he explained it. Still you insist he doesn\'t understand the concept.
The point of dragging the shutter isn\'t simply to leave the shutter open for the H of it -- it\'s to raise the ambient. And with TTL you do it however -- drag the shutter, \"drag\" the ISO, \"drag\" the aperture. It doesn\'t matter because TTL flash will adjust after you get your ambient where you want it. It\'s counterintuitive until you do it.
Let\'s try this again. (why am I wasting my time?)
You can gain ambient by boosting the iso, and lower the flash, or slowing the shutter, and leaving the flash alone.
the OP is complaining about offensive grain when setting iso above 400, so he needs to... guess what?
Additionally, airfrogusmc posted examples done with NO FLASH. Get it? The OP is using a lot of flash. That\'s his preferred style, so he needs to ... can you guess?
Not to mention, slowing the shutter will yield less noise and better colors than bumping the iso. But then you knew that, right?
