If you're metering off your hand and opening up a stop that's not a shadow
you're exposing for.
Which is by the way way ok with me.
I let my shadows fall in my black and white just like I do with my slides
and with my digital. The important part of the pix is usually in the high
areas and the important part of the curve for the highlights to fall on is
critical. You don't certainly want to place it too high IE over expose it.
