I like this one more, but, it lost a little punch. I think it's the way that I setup the light inside the helmet. I also did clean the helmet a bit more this time. Any bug-splats still visible can be chalked up to five years and 20,000 miles of riding.
The setup is completely different this time around.
Key is the 580EX II at 1/8 and a mini softbox.
Front fill is the 160WS strobe with a snoot I rigged up using gaffer's tape and a foamie.
Once again, there's a 430EZ at full power with an orange gel inside the helmet. I also stretched a paper towel across the opening for the visor, closed the visor and (not so) carefully trimmed the excess with a razor. When that was done, I mashed all the little fiddly bits left outside the visor back in with the side of a cardboard battery package...
Setup:
The camera is at ISO100, 1/200, and f/9.
This may not be the last time you see the helmet, but I'm done with this composition for now.
