    Light reflections on polished surfaces

    New to off camera lighting with my two monoblocs. I have just taken some shoots of my club race helmut to put on flea bay. I probably need to keep reading the lighting book I have because I have had trouble with reflections from the light in the shine of the helmet. I ended up not using the silver umbrella on the right, I just bounced the light of the ceiling and used the soft box on the left. As you can see, I still have the reflection of the soft box on the helmet. Left hand light was at about 70 degrees from camera position and about 5 feet (whatever it is in metric) from the subject. What am I doing wrong.
