I took about 20 pictures of his hands to help me with the value changes between shadows in light and shadows in shadows. The one I posted was to show the dramatic difference between the lighted side of his face and the lighted portions of his hand in shadow. Guess this is what a value finder is used for. So I made one this afternoon, and now will actually use it.

I"m not going to change the hands, just the values. I may like to create problems for myself, but I'm not a masochist!

I was in too much of a hurry when I posted before. (Weekends and computers and husbands.)
