[QUOTE="Gobae, post: 541262, member: 26896"] Although I've shot quite a bit I don't do a whole lot with flash, but I've just started shooting Roller Derby and would like some help with an idea I'm trying to suss out. Typically I shoot bouts at 1/320 or higher as this seems to freeze the action nicely. However, some venues are poorly lit and force me to increase my ISO to 1600 (without flash) in order to maintain 1/320 and on my D90. This is about the max I like given the amount of noise/grain I find acceptable. Since the maximum flash sync is 1/250 for the D90 would I really gain anything by backing the shutter speed down to 1/250 and using flash? In other words, if I use ISO 1600, 1/250, AND flash will I gain anything? Or will the image be subject to the same motion blur as if I shot at 1/250 without flash? I hope this question makes sense. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
