this is a very viable alternative, especially w/ compact
tripods. I've even thrust a "bundled up" 'pod up in the
air several feet w/ a FishEye on self-timer w/ quite
interesting results ;^)

Yep - that's why film speed is your best asset, even at the
expense of more graininess. You want as fast a shutter as
feasible as lighting, subject, and camear movement are all
conspiring against you. Grainier stop action will beat fine-
grained blur every time! Been There - Done That
