I have dinner early - usually by 3 or maybe 4PM - and my dining room usually has plenty of natural light for pics. Once in a while I need to use the settings to adjust the lighting after I take the pic. I don't have photo editing software - just what's on Windows.
Natural lighting works best for me, as I'm lazy and just want to get a decent pic as I'm sitting in front of my meal before it gets cold.

I use my phone - Galaxy 7.
I'm always inspired by each and every pic here!
Here's a recent one - last month, I think - with natural lighting.
