A couple days ago, walking back to the office from the deli I got a photo of poppies that turned out pretty well. By shooting in a direction that shade was in the background, I ended up with golden poppies against a black background.

My first thought was to take one my plastic tubs, paint the inside flat black and if I want to photograph flowers, put that behind the flower so that I can get the instant dark background.

Upon reflection, I thought that what would be better would something like one of those "pop up" light tents:

but made out of an opaque black fabric. I suppose I could do something similar with the light tent and opaque fabric over it, but I figured I'd ask if anyone knows of such a "porta-cave" already on the market.
