Interesting combining flash with dual iso(second picture). Do you think the result would be different with regular raw in this case?
Third photo looks relly good. I like it a lot
The big win for event flash photography is getting more DR in the backgrounds. Especially events like festivals where you notice that background lights colour channels cap out really quickly and everything just looks really smudged. Dual ISO has helped me immensly shooting manual flash in a pinch in this environment too - my TTL flash was stolen a while back and I haven't been able to afford a replacement.
Most of the examples here seem to be scenes which makes sense. We've all seen overexposed skies and can appreciate at a glance how big an improvement we are getting with Dual ISO. I question why most people haven't really discovered it for portrait/event/performance/street style stuff where the loss of detail across the frame matters less and your RAW files has much more flexibility in what you get out of a shot that is just snapped 'in the moment.'
If there is one downside for me though, it's shooting an event (200-400 shots) and leaving them to brew overnight, ultimately costing me 60mb each shot. Here I was thinking that buying a 6D would be a good move to preserve HDD space - hah!
