Here's another one with 1/4 sec exposure and flash:

The technique is a bit tricky because you want to blend the flash with the ambient light. Here is what works for me:
I set the flash to "auto" mode at f/8. Then I read from the exposure meter the corresponding exposure time at f/8 (in that case 1/4 sec). Next, I set the camera to 1/4 sec but the f/stop to 11 instead of 8. That means that I am underexposing both the flash and the ambient light by 1 stop, but the sum of both makes a great exposure.
Is that the same guy I took a picture of in Chinatown/SFO? What are the odds?? 😱 The picture was taken with a CV 21mm Color Skopar, though, not a SA 21.
