    Sayings, poems and ditties used to judge exposure.

    I would like to collect the sayings, poems and ditties that were used by our large format ancestors to judge exposure for both film and printing. I hope someone can help me out.

    Thanks,

    Kent

    When it's brown . . . no that's not it either.

    No, no, that the category of stars O B A F G K M K

    f/8.0 and be there

    But that's not about exposure really.

    I'm stumped.

    Aren't all the sayings about exposure usually something that isn't repeated in polite company?
