I always hate the flat flash results when shooting people in low light. I learnt this method recently on how to create more feel. For those who know the technique, share more and to those who don't well, here it is. Shot at Shangri La Hotel's THE PUB. All exif data intact

I tried front and rear sync but my boss still complain that I am not bringing the "feel" to the readers. Not to say rear or front sync cannot work totally lah :)

IMHO 2nd pic really quite good. What "feel" is required @_@?

Stevo,

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/1 second = 1 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 28/10 = F2.8
# Exposure Program = shutter priority (4)
# ISO Speed Ratings = 400

iso can vary according to the environment, shoot with a flash then straight away turn yr cam left to right . The 1 second will get u the light streaks

1/4 secs shutter, iso 500 to capture ambient lights.Aperture at f5 and in manual mode.
