Natural Backgrounds

For many years I have been using printed backgrounds when shooting subjects with cluttered backgrounds.  Just place the background behind the subject and shoot whatever f/stop you want, in my case it's always f/32 because I want everything in focus.

There are sometimes when I get a subject with a natural background that works out very well and I don't need to use a background I and still shoot at f/32 to get everything in focus.

I have a lot more of these natural background images, so sometimes I get lucky and don't have to pull out my backgrounds.
