Thanks guslaw..... yes I knew about the palm thing but thought that skin color did make a difference, and did not mention it because I didn't want to cause anyone more confusion..... This told to me by my photo professor... and she is of Indian (from India) ethnicity. That to meter off the palm caucasions should stop down one.... dark skin meter, no change..... she likes to tell us how her skin is 18% grey.... hence the reason for her email address of 18percent@XXX.XXX Maybe this is incorrect?

I am, therefore I create.......
