Outdoors or indoors? For indoor shooting, I bought a 16x20 or so painting canvas, added a base to it, and hung a black shirt over it. Outdoors, I far, far prefer natural backgrounds.

I have been doing a little bit of both.  I just got a piece of black foamcore to try to use in the field.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
