I also prefer the sun as a light source, and have gotten pretty consistent
results from doing so. I can stretch that time span to 4:00 pm, printing in
the summer in Boston MA. My exposure time is usually between 5-10 minutes. (I
work in other mediums in the winter -- no patience for the 1+ hr exposure time
needed in the winter, no interest in light box :)
