When you're good at something you naturally make it look easy. When you're not, well, then there's this.

Inspired by the many stunning flatlay images Dan Carlson posts to his Instagram account, I thought I'd try something similar with the treasures I picked up on our recent Gorge-getaway. Obviously I need a better background than one of our pathway pavers. Something that allows the texture of the items to take the stage, not to compete with them.
I also tried using a brighter background, but since it was indoors there was a horrible reflection from the overhead lights. Still, it works for zooming in for a couple of close-ups: mossy hunk of wood, a naturally forking bit of driftwood, acorns and a lichen covered rock.
