"dragging shutter" technique?

[Tracy Hicks]

Could you explain this? Read it in another post... I might using this technique and not even know it...hehe. -T

Shooting mainly with a strobe but using longer (>1/60) shutter speeds to capture ambient light or movement of the subject(s). Can produce some nice mixed lighting for sunsets and fill flash techniques for portraits. I'm sure there are other uses, but that's from a portrait guys perspective.

I was reading it used in a ballroom setting. Taking pics at a dim lit banquet? I just shoot at 2.8 and let the camera do the rest. Should I be something different?

Isn't that basically what I said?

In the words of the Emperor Joseph II:
"It's quality work. But there are simply too many notes, that's all. Just cut a few and it will be perfect."
