For the first time ever, I (we) have gone on an extended, away from home, landscape / location / stock shooting trip without a (D)SLR. The equipment for this consists of two Sony NEX-7's and a Panasonic GX1 / 20mm f/1.7 as a backup. Yesterday was spent using one of the NEX-7's and the 18-55mm and 55-210mm zooms.

This is somewhat early in the year but seemingly the UK is currently having its summer in March and October! The temperature is close to what we get in June and July over here and yesterday was non-stop sunshine with the forecast pretty much the same for the rest of the week. 

We are currently staying in the house that you see in the pictures with the daffodils, which has a 360 degree view over the Derbyshire Peak District which is where we are photographing. We are 1000 ft. up and this morning there was a frost on the fields. Not a place to stay in winter, but in weather like this its idyllic. We were very pleased with yesterdays pictures and hopefully this will continue. 

More tomorrow.
