All John said is "try it". He didn't say that his way is the right way.
Arnie trying all the options available to him can't be a bad thing, can it?

Sure, John, that'll work, but it will yield a very generic photo. The idea of
showing motion throughout the image, blurred subjects, is another approach, as is
the "practice, practice, practice" approach. Different strokes for different

him. And damn it, flash changes the mood and the feel of the photograph.
