How to shoot distant citiscapes


 
 
How could I shoot a portrait and a distant citiscape with enough light on the subject's face and the citiscape with detail, not washed/burned out. I rarely use a flash for portraiture, using mostly natural window light. I imagine I would need a flash. If so, I have a non-TTl Vivitar, with red, yellow and blue settings. Would I shoot for ambient light, opening up one stop on the flash from what the exposure reads using a middle grey of the portrait's clothes as a reference? ex, exposure is 60 at F11, put the flash on f8?
