2015.09.23: Mousetracks - a photo on Flickriver

2015.09.23: Mousetracks

• For my September Series AND
• For 115 Pictures in 2015 — No. 2: "A Mouse"

This was a fun little experiment in combining long exposure (two seconds) with short-duration flash photography.

I mostly use trackpads these days, but i still have this mouse with the little, blue LED light indicator on it that comes on when it's connected. Taped a cheap dollar store car window reflector thingie to the wall with the mouse dangling in front of it. Turned off the lights in the room and started twirling, spinning, dipping and diving the thing until i got a pattern i liked.

Strobist Info
Nikon SB-800 Speedlight at 1/32 power, zoomed all the way in to 105mm, camera left, high above subject. Flash triggered with PocketWizard MiniTT1 unit on camera and PlusX unit on strobe. Light trail provided by the mouse. Voilà!
