Clockwork Musical Motorcycle - Experimental Lighting

I already posted this in the 'nifty fifty' thread as that is the lens I used, but then came across this sub-forum and thought it appropriate. Hope this is OK to double post!

Playing around with some different lighting options / ideas tonight I came up with these:

1. Lit with a handheld flashlight with a paper towel diffuser. ISO 400, f/6.7, 30s.

The WB in 1 seems a bit off and the red doesn't really do anything for me.

I like the lighting of 3, it brings out the different colours of the base material nicely.

Nice looking little bike. I'll have to try the red lazer idea. I just happen to have one here.

Thanks for the comments. What do you mean by the white balance seems off, not sure what you are basing that on. The wall behind and the sheet I used underneath are both a type of cream color...

I take your point on the red, it really is a lot of red. I should try doing something different with it to make it more interesting.

I like the 3rd one a lot too...

Thanks again
Dave

Yeah, I got the idea from another post on saw on the forum somewhere. I need to get a green laser pointer too. Maybe able to do something interesting with different colors of laser from different directions.....
