Found things

After two days of hiking, I emptied out my stash of things I picked up and thought..blip this!   

We are really cloudy here today and having good light was really hard.  I finally got Jerry to use his floodlight that he has for working on things in the dark.  Even with that, I could not get the camera settings right to get a good white background so I had to do some editing to get this to look like this.  At least the items are pretty much their true color and the white poster board is white.  

I hate having to edit which is probably why I don't normally do still lifes like this.   But in order to learn, I have told myself that I will do at least two or more still life set ups a month  if I find the things to use.    

Thanks for all the comments on my old graveyard photos yesterday.  I talked to my friend Dan who is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and he said that mainly the cemetery needs to be documented if it is not already.   The chapter of the organization that is close to this area should have this and he will get me the name of a contact there to make sure it is recorded.   Now I have this urge to learn more about the cemeteries that might be in the woods in the middle of nowhere!
