Maybe the hand is in different light? Just pulling your leg. I sweat like a
pig (BTW, has anyone seen a pig sweat?). OK, I sweat so much people nearby
drown. I just wipe my hand on my clothes to try and remove "extra
reflectance" prior to a shot. (Tracey does the washing, and I hope she
doesn't read this).
I'm a bit of a John Shaw fan, but don't agree with everything he says (or
else I would be redundant). But I was using my hand before I read his books
and it always solved problems with difficult scenes.
I was toying with checking my camera bags as a grey card, but as you say I
usually have at least one hand with me. (The other holds the camera).
