Every so often I'll see somewhere a model railroad picture, either on the web or in a magazine, and I will apply my "acid test". This consists of asking my 8th grader if it looks real and then, if he says it doesn't, asking him why not. Usually, if the picture has people in it, his answer is that the people are "too shiny". If you look at a lot of the pictures on The Gauge, I think you'll see where he's coming from....
Not being into photography (yet), I would like to know if there is a reason for shiny people, or is it something a shot of a matte overcoat of some kind would cure?
Also, do you think "Shiny People" would be a good name for a rock band?
