Jargon in a flash

Strobist - A Catch all term for any technique where flash is combined creatively with ambient lighting.

This is wrong.

Strobist is the technique of using flash "Off-Camera"
Its as simple as that. Whether or not you blend the ambient with the flash is irrelevant.

I just did a search and cannot find a clear definition of strobist either way,

As a 'Strobist' I would agree

Strobist is a registered trademark, according to the little R in a circle on [URL="http://strobist.blogspot.co.uk/2006/02/welcome-to-strobist.html"]David Hobby's blog[/URL] It's all about small flashguns used off camera, with or without ambient light.

I think David Hobby is THE Strobist; others who call themselves Strobists merely follow his doctrine. Or something like that. :)
