We had such a gloomy and wet day here. I didn’t know it would turn out to be such a great day for some natural light photos. Talyssa was the doll that I happened to pick up. I thought that I’d share them with you.
There are quite a few windows in this room, but since it is a rather large room the only near light was coming from the window on my right side; I was about 12″ away. To slightly blur the background and keep her face in focus I used an f/stop of 4, ISO of 400. It was almost too dark in the room to take these without a tripod because the little red “shaky camera” icon would sometimes appear (depending on what I focused on, light or dark).
I can’t believe how different she looks in this natural light!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful…I love this wig on Talyssa!
Hi Regina and thank you. This is the Jojo wig with the bangs trimmed.
How fun to play with the light! Her eyes just sparkle in every photo. No gloomies here. Sunny, with a bit of wind blowing our sycamore leaves everywhere! Neighbors hate us, I’m sure.
Hi Joy,
I can close my eyes and imagine your sunny day with the leaves blowing around. Leaves never stay in their own yard, do they? lol Thank you, Joy.
Oh, Cindy…Talyssa looks angelic in your pictures of her. I love the low lighting.
Hi Carol and thank you,
It was a big surprise to me at how well these turned out. I think that Talyssa has a very expressive face. Thanks for commenting. ❤️
She looks lovely Cindy, I particularly like the last photo of her.
Sometimes the weather pays such an important part in our photos. Here the light can be so bright that I struggle to get good photos in the daytime but first thing in the morning, just as the sun is coming up, so the light is perfect! Unfortunately I am not often up that early!! LOL!
Hi Sharon,
Your photos always have such a wonderful quality to them, I love looking at them. Ha ha, we don’t usually have the “too bright” problem like you do. I don’t get up early unless I have to either. Thanks for commenting, Sharon. 😀
Talyssa is resplendent! Your photos are beautiful! Thank you very much!
Have a beautiful day!
Friendly yours,
Catherine
Hi Catherine and thank you so very much! Talyssa is such a beautiful doll! Hope you’re having a nice Wednesday. 🌻
I love Talyssa … She is so sweet and your outfit is beautiful… I have a Talyssa coffe tan …. I love her ..
Hello Catherine,
I didn’t know you had Talyssa; she is beautiful in coffee tan too. Thank you so much!
Beautiful photos! Gorgeous doll, made all the more gorgeous by your outfit!
Thank you, Pennie. She’s a hard one to figure out. I think she shines in natural light versus the studio lights. Maybe…
