Hi Chuck,
I did that for a number of years with a Braun flash unit and film cameras.
It does work well. Your examples are excellent, though I notice that a
large number of them have the subjects seated in chairs, which, I feel, is
cheating.
I was hoping to explore the higher ISA digital settings and not have to use
the intrusive flash. I did use on-camera flash for some close-in shots, but
it won't cover a large room.
