Today I want to talk about natural light - good ole sunshine.
Natural light works wonders in 99% of photography. Take these two pictures:

See how much nicer it looks in natural light?!
The tricky part for indoor pictures is that the light isn't always where you want it. Take a look at my living room throughout the day. The light changes drastically!
While there is a LOT of light at 8:00am, it's really too much for you to be able to see my living room set up. Between 9:00-9:30 the light is brighter, but not glaring. From then on, my place is bright, but not its best. SO, my prime photo window is from 9:00-9:30 for that room!
With a little careful observation, you can find when the light looks best for pictures in your room. Open all of the curtains, mess with your ISO, and enjoy your bright space!

Well, at least we know what the cats do all day! Great demo.
