Wow!  This has been running all day!

Someone previously said a photo was taken with 50 mm lens, 1/60th sec and a flash, and the discussion was that the shutter speed was too slow.  Two quick points:  I’m old enough to have owned SLR’s that had 1/60th as the sync speed!  And, light from a flash lasts about 1/1000th, so while anything lit by ambient might blur, the subject lit by the flash should be pretty sharp.  That is the principle behind the fad for wedding shots at the end of the reception.  Set shutter to a second or two, set the flash to second curtain, press the shutter release and pan or rotate the camera, or both.  It gives light trails and fairly sharp people, and impresses the non-photographer customers.
