Mark Wallace explains why a slow shutter and flash can create “ghosts” in your images. He also explains how motion, flash, ambient light, and shutter speeds are related. Once you understand these principles you can eliminate “ghosts” and add interesting effects by mixing ambient light with light from your flash.
