If your shooting above F8 on a bright sunny day you won't have to worry, but if your thinking about shooting wide open it may cause problems. I haven't tried it yet and will try to shoot at F2.8 to see if I can shoot above 800th of second without the black bars appearing. I heard Alien Bee makes other strobes that can handle Hyper sync speeds better then the Einstein. I went this route for shooting during bright days cause I like that most things are happening straight with the camera. I use to have to take multiply exposure to kinda get that look but it never really felt natural too me. But as you know there is always more then one to get the same results. Hope that helps! BTW your photos rock!
Very cool man, thank you, thats pretty much exactly what I thought! Yeah, your stuff is gold too man, keep'um coming!
