Well.. - Choose your lighting carefully. If you are shooting outside without any flash and the light isnt right, just stop at once. Dont waste time shooting pics that wont be used. Just drive around to different scenes and shoot untill the lighting is right. One great time to shoot with external flash is just after sunset. At that point you have about 5-10 min (depending on location and date) to shoot with fill flash. After its gone dark, youll need to light up your subject completely with flashes. (I sort of got the idea you dont have three speedlights and pocket wizards?) - Put your cam in autofocus, use one focus point and aim it at one of her eyes. Youll probably wanna use the 50mm at about 2.8. Think about composition, but dont let it controll you too much. I found its best to let that part come naturally. Lighting comes first, and when you got it, you shoot a bunch of pics and quickly find out what comps will work and not. Also, you might wanna shoot low dof anyways. - If youre shooting with the sun behind the subject, but visible; be sure to use a high f-number to make the sun look "starish" and not like some overexposed smudge. - Just shoot and learn as you go. - If you dont have a even one external flash, you should experiment. Your goal would be to light up her face from both sides, without making the eyes look like two black holes.
