Sunny f/16
Do you remember the "sunny 16 rule"? It was a handy formula to use when you hadn't got spare batteries for your light meter! The rule states:

When shooting front lit subjects on sunny days, set the aperture to f/16 and your shutter speed to the nearest corresponding number to your film's ISO rating (eg using Kodachrome 64 set the shutter speed to 1/60)

This is, perhaps, of limited use in a British winter but if you have any similar photographic lore, or fond memories of your early photographic experience the newsletter is the place to share them.
