I have always considered myself a landscape photographer.
Mainly because I am clueless about setting up a light off camera, and working on posing people.

I went to a photography meetup last weekend with the intent on working on just these things.

All of these images are shot with my 50D with a 24-105 and a 580EX in a softbox using Yongnuo 301P wireless triggers, and some in natural light.
So everything was set in manual.

1. ISO 1000 1/100 of a second, f/4 Natural Light

2. ISO 1000 1/100 of a second, f/4 Natural Light

3. ISO 400 1/250s f/4 Flash in softbox

4. ISO 400 1/250s f/7.1 Flash in softbox

5. ISO 200 1/200 f/6.3 Flash in softbox

There is very little post processing here. A couple of blemish removals, a little vignetting, and some sharpening.

How am I doing outside of my comfort zone?

Thank you.

=]What was your softbox and how far away was it?

It's this Wescott Apollo.
I had it set about four feet away from the models.
However, the one in the silver dress, the softbox was aobut six feet away.

I'll agree with the others. 1,2, and 4 are very nice.

Well I haven't seen your landscapes but I would have to say these subjects look much better than your stinkin trees. Nice job.

Oh, and not exactly a landscape, but another of my favorites.
