Artisanal Hands - Discussion and Detail

[derekl_1963]

The final two pictures from last weekend, and some of the best (at least with regards to composition) that came out.

This whole set, from last weekend, seems to have ended up taking a different view of artisanal hands. I think that's a good thing.

Pat and Ellen were discussing the finer points of a wood turning project. Since no lathe was handy, they grabbed some brown paper that some dressmakers were using for making patterns and started sketching... I should note, these were shot candid, not posed!

I had a lot less problems with the evil light I've been complaining about, because they were sitting right by a window... So instead I had problems with evil glare and even more evil shadows. I just couldn't win...
