Thanks for the compliments...ALL of these were lit with an ON CAMERA flash (Speedlight 580)...I used a bracket to move the flash away and below the camera. I metered the background to the shutter speed and aperture to capture the sunrise. I then set the camera to about 1 stop higher and set my flash to fire at 1/4 power...This effectively overpowered the sunrise and slightly underexposed it...which is what I wanted ...(image #3)
On image 5, I faced the model directly into the sun (this was one of our last shots as the sun was rising quickly and getting more powerful by the second) and simply added the fill to taste...I believe this was shot at about 1/32 flash power and I bounced it into the sand...
