Strobist: portraits

Flash and Ambient mix ala strobist or backpacker studio. Yes i’ve read the blogs but this is first time on location with a model/friend Christine.
I just received my new flash bracket and a new umbrella style softbox for speedlight and wanted to shoot on location with the aim of overpowering the sun or at least deepening the blue in sky. Also wanted to get mix of daylight only and flash/daylight mix images.
Amazing what a variety of shots from one location especially when opting in and out of flash, and low to high aperture/shutter combinations can give. At times I used sun as main light other times as backlight or kicker.
C&C appreciated.

thanks for commenting Miki
yes #2 is my fave in part due to the highlight along shoulder/hair and dark edge to opposite side makes her pop off the underexposed sky. This was the last image of the hour on this self training and i think i’d started to nail the exposure with getting setting/distance of the manual flash balanced against the sun and the third component the manual camera settings. Really was step change for me.
Great set!!
How are you achieving the shutter speed faster than 1/250th?
Cable & Hi-Speed Sync?
