Practising with the Sony A7R11 in Standen House

Very proud of my new camera acquisition I took it to Standen House, near East Grinstead, West Sussex, for an outing. This house belongs to the National Trust and was designed by the architect Philip Webb and built for the Beale family in 1891, a true 'arts and crafts' home. I had Hettie the dog with me so could not go into the house which has rooms designed by William Morris. A further visit is needed. I still had not got any lenses to fit the E mount of the Sony camera so was using Nikon 50mm and 28mm lenses and an adaptor. This meant I did not have autofocus but I could use aperture priority exposure. Here follows a number of mainly flower shots. I was very pleased with the dynamic range of the camera although the day was pretty grey, with a flat lifeless sky.
