No tripod, but no flash and I stood real still. The black tape is VERY thin [3M from ebay product] - thinner than electrical tape; the silver on the wheels is much thicker - thicker than duct tape even. I got it at a hardware store and it was cheap; it is more visible, but still not as bad as spoke reflectors [shudder].
There is black tape on the chainstay, the seat tube, and the downtube, all of which are captured in this photo.
