yeah it's a nikon..
tri-x 400
it's not as much the lighting as i think the depth of field that is greating this effect..
it was shot on a 17-35.. at f13 i think..
;)

cool. thanks for the info! I wonder why DOF would create the effect. No need to explain if you are busy though. I will do some research. Thanks again. JP

well..
see if i was using a telephoto lens, the the focus wouldn't have been on the whole body even if it was on the whole body the edges wouldn't be so sharp..
i kept the depth of field deep in this ( using a wide angle lens and small aperture) on purpose to keep the edges of the body sharp.. i think this gives it a little of that 3 d effect which i think is most responsible to make him stand out..
just a guess :)
