One of the really wonderful aspects about Einsteins is their flexibility. They have two modes: Action and Color. For most situations, the difference between these two modes is negligible; however it becomes significant in high speed flash applications. (more…)

Introduction To The Paul C. Buff Einstein 640WS Flash
I am writing this series of posts about the Paul C. Buff Einstein 640 WS flash units (Einsteins) which have proven themselves to be such an asset to my photography that frankly, I don’t know what I would do without them.

In the last several weeks though, I have not been behind the camera very often, yet have managed some fairly nice captures – automatically!
