If that's clear as mud, I just happen to have my digital camera right next to me...

That can be a dangerous stretch!! make sure your not forcing your fingers apart to the point that its sore, you only want to stretch ur fingers/hand gently.. so be very careful with that stretch or any stretch you do to warm up!!
