That's an excellent idea. Though I could probably get away with
mounting it to the snoot. I suppose I shouldn't use my green laser
though.
I was thinking one of those little LED flashlights because the beam
would spread a bit to show where the light is aimed, but wouldn't have
enough light to affect the exposure.
I don't think a laser would spread enough to be useful, even aside from
safety issues.
Bouncing the strobe off a mirror is a good idea. I don't think
there was any opportunity to use it during the assignment, but
I'll try to keep it in mind if I ever run into a situation where
it will work in the future.
If you're ever shooting in a photo studio, there will be big mirrors.
Also large windows work also. It gives a sharper bounce than just a
white wall.
I have access to several studios in addition to the ones I use at
school, and so far none of them has big mirrors.
Might be a California thing.
