For these two photos, I tweaked the settings to give myself a shutter speed of 1/4 sec, and then deliberately shook the camera during the exposure. As I mentioned, the flash itself is relatively small - perhaps the width of a deck of cards, and even with the two AAA batteries it feels extremely light.
