Practice Shots CC

[MWG]

Just been working on nailing my exposures, i feel that im starting to get them faster and faster. I think it will help me out in the long run. I haven't had any real shoots as of late, so i been practicing with the family. Now i can't decide if i want another speedlight to go along with my 580 ex ii or some "real" lights lol. I started looking into Adoramas flashpoint series strobes and i have read some decent reviews, but a part of me just wants to compile a bunch of speedlights with modifiers since i work outdoors mostly. Not sure what im gonna do yet, but any input on this would be appreciated.

f/4 1/400 iso-100
OCF to camera right with a reflector on the left side of my mother. I dialed in exposure compensation to -2 because i wanted to background to be a little underexposed. I think the result was decent, wanted a good picture of my mom in front of flowers, she loves tending to her garden and flowers and such. Flash was shot through an umbrella.

They look quite ok to me. The light a bit strong maybe. I can't give any tips for lighting set-ups though.

They're well exposed and focused, in my untrained eyes. Great job!

What triggers are you using to shoot off camera at 1/400s with a T1i?
