This is a neat little trick I was taught about two years ago. Since then I've used it in a few deviations plus a few snapshots with friends and family. Once you learn how to do it, you'll wonder how you survived without it!
By using a cheap $2 mirror, you can achieve fantastic and professional looking lighting in your next portrait or product shot.
Wait for the whole thing to load (it's about 1mb big), have a read and let me know what you think.

I recommend buying a bouncer. It's a largeish disc shape with reflective material on it. You bounce the sunlight off the bouncer and onto the subject. They're rather cheap too and come in different colours and materials for different amounts of light. You just unfold it, get someone to hold it near them and take your shot. I haven't got one (as I don't do many portraits) but you can do the same thing with those silver reflectors you put in your car's window to keep the heat out!
Thanks for the comment
