Thanks for the feedback.
I have got a lot to learn about light. I was trying so hard to soften the light but I could not get it. I was useing an old smith victor flood with an opus umbrella and stand. You can see the umbrella reflection in the bottom axe on the helmet. But it was a start. I found a some good info in the fourms about useing old nikon SB24's or 25's. So now I am on the hunt for them and with some practice I hope to get better. |

| Interesting. The reflection of the room on the helmet is very distracting and making it to busy. In order to control the reflection on such a high shine item such as this, it needs to be in a higly controled studio environment. You can create a similar environment relatively cheeply. There is a yellow color cast on the image. A softbox would help both situations. just my 2 cents. Beautiful design. |

| Yeah, buddy! I almost bought that helmet, but I figured my wife wouldn't approve. Photographically speaking, the lighting has really mixed colors -- I see the green of a flourescent light on the right, but the lower side seems to be lit with an incandescent light. This may be part of why the whole image has a sort of cream-colored cast to it. You'll get more uniform results if you use only one type of light. |
