I was walking through the house the other day when I spotted Luxie kitty sitting on the table. Now, I’ve posted lots of photos of Luxie on this table, but it is usually in the morning when she is helping me with my journaling and planning. This time it’s a little different. Can you guess how?
This is early evening light. You can see that the window behind her is still light, but not the morning sun bright. She is actually being illuminated from the evening sun filtering in through our front door. So you see how it sort of makes her glow? The light is coming in through the door and reflecting off the tile.
She is a room and a half away from the light, so it is not very bright. You’ll also notice that this photo has lots of grain or noise, that’s because it was a low light situation. But the light from the door is still bright enough to capture catchlights in her eyes.
When you are photographing your cat using natural indoor light, be sure and keep your eyes open for different lighting situations. Little pockets of light make all the difference.
For our artsy photo this week, I used Topaz Labs

Thanks for the photography tips. 🙂
Luxie is so beautiful!! I want to pet her 🙂 My family used to have a calico cat when I was a kid.
Luxie, you are beautiful! Nice to meet you!
You are a beautiful kitty. Even a background that is not especially impressive can be beautiful with the right lighting.
Great opportunity for a great picture.
she looks beautiful and cute. My cat is named Mon, he is a smart cat and I know he love me but he is so self-sufficient and often escape home to go out alone
Very beautiful!

Beautiful shots! The artsy version is also lovely. 🙂
I can never tire of seeing Luxie on that table or nearby. And the light you have seems to lend itself so well to your compositions and subjects. A delightful selfie and no mistake, evening or morning.

I love seeing photos of Luxie, she is stunning. I see on the sidebar that you are listening to Waking Up in Winter- I just read that and enjoyed it.
Thanks for the photography tips, Mommy needs all the tips she can get. Although we have to say she improves every day.
What a beauty. Your cats are so photogenic. Okay, you’re a great photographer.
Have a purrfect day, Luxie. My best to your mom. ♥
