Joanna Kustra has some great videos. Can't remember who but I found her from a recommendation here a couple of weeks ago. Great information about using colour that can apply to any shoot and portraits.

When you don't have enough light for auto to work, long exposures at night for example.
You can go as slow as you want for some fun effects, I did a series of self portraits earlier this year some of them with long exposure and flash combined. Shooting at 1/5s for all the motion blur and a splash of light from the flash stopping movement in the same shot. link (Should be the right pic, 7 of 10 if it isn't)
In low light conditions with low ISO the speed of the flash is what's stopping the movement, not the shutter speed. A flash setting of 1/1 is the equivalent of 1/250 shutter without ambient light, 1/2 is the equivalent of 1/919. This article in the section THE FLASH – PHOTOS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT explains more.
If you're a data hoarder like me then I recommend a blu-ray burner for important don't want to loose stuff and a massive HDD for things you might delete eventually.
A RAID NAS for temporarily important (work that you got paid for but will only retain for a set time before deleting etc)
