Sandwich effect?
I was reading the comment left by Nick Gascoine who shot the most recent cover of 2020. For memory he was describing when we took the photo about the lighting set up he used and he described it as the sandwich effect. Anyone heard of it, or know what it is?

Just letting everyone know, after quite a bit of a hiatus from updating my main website, I finally got around to doing something about it. There are a few, new, unseen shots, a bit of a blog continuation (that i'll try to keep going this time), and a new overall look to the site. There are still some problems (the size of photos, being one...), but hopefully you can accept them, and understand I have absolutely zero web-handling abilities.
Feel free to check it out, yo!

Sorry Tris, I liked it the way before. I don't deal well with change!

Yeah, my bad, I totally lost track of that. It was more just a chance to get people to take and post what they thought was their 'best' shot of late. When I eventually went to test the trigger/receiver combo I found out the receiver had run out of battery (after 24 months, which I was quite impressed with), and I couldn't be bothered to do anything about it. I'm now living 550km away from where the set is, so perhaps once I return in 6 weeks i'll post them off to someone.
Ahh well, can't win 'em all! I'm sure you'll eventually get used to it. Either that or you'll hate it so much you'll never look at it...Sorry Tris, I liked it the way before. I don't deal well with change!
For anyone who's interested, i've figured out how to increase the size of the shots in Portfolio Three (the landscape portfolio), so feel free to go check them out in all their glory. I've also added what I consider to be lots more shots to the whole website, so there!

Been doing a lot of reading of this thread but haven't had time to create anything worth posting for a while... finally got a chance to take some new pic-a-tures. Undecided on a favourite yet and a few more to come once i've finished some PP.
C/C always appreciated.

Digging the first one. Interesting perspective with the symmetry.

Guys, really need some assistance. Just making the breakthrough to entry-level DSLR shooting. Need some help making a decision between a few camera choices that I have come up with. Will be shooting mainly people, scenery, architecture and riding. I know that the Canon bodies do not come with build in IS, while the "VR" system in Nikon is handy to have. Live view isn't really an issue, more of a gimmick in my eyes. Also HD video shooting could come in handy. In addition to this, I would like a DSLR that will last a few years, so maybe with some good features, reliability and good choice of glass. Currently I am tossing up between:
Canon 400D
Canon 450D
Canon 500D (Possibly)
Nikon 3000D (Soon to come out by specs are out)
Nikon 5000D
Pentax K-M
What are your thoughts and opinions on the aforementioned pieces of kit, I need a camera fairly soon as I am going overseas. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers, Farkin.

D. I can only comment on the Canon. If your funds stretch to the 500D, go that.

Sam, I can't decide on my opinion of the distorted horizon. I think I would have liked it more if it was straight, because the distortion isn't exactly a consistent curve, you know? But I'm liking the over all shot, the lens flare is killer.One from this morning, pretty boring sunrise in comparison to last Thursday, so I didn't end up with as many keepers.
Not sure what I think of the distorted horizon, any thoughts?
