Your post just gave me an idea.  There's an unused plastic tarp
in my garage, and just the other day I was thinking that I had
no use for it.  Now I do ... I'm going to toss it into the trunk
of my car, along with a few other photo-related items  that I
always carry, and use it to lie upon when making really low
angle shots.
