This one came down to crunch time on a busy week, and while I'm not entirely satisfied with the final product, it'll do, and I'm not going to be putting more time into it! After rigging the camera and firing off a couple shots in varying poses, most of the work here was simply enlarging my hands in post-processing. This involved a ton of layering, cloning, shading, and substituting elements from other photos. Some of the artifacts of all that editing are still visible, and the angle I chose and lighting I had available sort of made the "large hand" effect I was shooting for a little less prominent than I had hoped. However, all that aside, I am particularly proud of how I held my camera up for this shot! The Gorilla Pod is truly an awesome piece of equipment.
