For the 1s who are interested:
When shooting n object in low light situations a person has 2 options; either 2 shoot with flash or with slow shutter speed to gather more light.
1. When flash is used most of the digital cameras automatically use faster shutter speed, it makes ur subject lit and frozen, the problem is that it will also leave subject lit up too brightly and can leave the background v dark coz the camera didn't had enuf time to capture the ambient light.
2. When longer shutter speed is used to capture enuf light 2 get a well xposed shot, this technique is good for scenes where ev thing is still but if u r using a moving subject, the shot will have motion blur in it which ruins the whole thing.
to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above a technique is used called "Slow Sync Flash" or "Dragging the Shutter". this funtion is mostly available in the digital SLR's which tells the camera to shoot with both a longer shutter speed as well as firing the flash. What I did was that 1st I got the settings for ambient light shooting then I entered these settings in the manual mode of camera. Then I found moving subjects and tried to physically drag my camera with the same speed the subject was moving. Flashed when the subject was in perfect position and continued to drag the camera afterwards. What it does that flash captures only the subject which is on focus and freezes it and the flash turns off but due to longer shutter speed the shutter is still open which captures the movement of the back ground.
I am starting to like photography n more then that I am starting to like the loadz of options available in the camera itself.
