In the early days of the list, a woman whose name I'm not remembering now
said she exposed gum by sunlight -- & that at noon in summer the exposure
was 30 seconds.
Some of the old British Journals of Photography have exposure charts by
season and latitude -- and as I seem to recall, maybe Henney & Dudley have
one too. But of course you'd have to factor in your medium...
