Now with over cast sky, you decrease one shutter stop, and one F stop or two of each. Then for shadows, indoor, you add two more and list goes on.
Here you use F stop 11, ISO 100 Speed 1/125 (Rule of 11)

Gosh, I had forgotten all this although this is where I started and then TTL light meters came in. I still have a Leningrad 7 hand held light meter from those days which was fine in good light but not low light. I think we used something called B&W film too!
