Last night I had a to attend a Gala with my fiancee. I noticed one of the photographers working the event had his flash off his Nikon and connected by a cable. I never got a chance to see him use it but I'm curious how he was implementing it.

Is that setup so he can hold the flash off to the side with one hand, and creating some depth in the image?
How effective is this technique??

    Moving the flash off camera makes for a much more pleasing picture by adding depth & shadow. You also avoid red eye.
