Scene 1 - garden fence
The dynamic range in this scene was only 0.63, which surprised me - to the naked eye the scene looked really bright and "contrasty".
Scene 2 - view from upstairs window
For this scene, I forgot to change the metering to spot when taking the darkest and lightest measurements; I also realise now that my darkest measurement was outside the scene of the original shot! But - it showed that in this case, with my 55-300mm zoom, a 1.95 dynamic range. Again, to the eye, the scene looks bright and contrasty, but the camera copes very well.
Scene 3 - View from Reykjavik Saga Museum:
Again, I was surprised by the low range of the scene 1.53 stops; the light was so bright and clear that I was expecting a greater range.
Scene 4 - Low light landscape in Iceland
In this scene, the brightness of the snow wasn't bright enough to capture a difference. The dynamic range was 0!
Scene 5 - Albert Bridge
This scene produced a higher range than the above experiments: 2.43. I forgot to switch to spot for the measurements - had I done so the range would have been greater. But I don't think I have yet found out the extent of the range of my camera; so I need to continue with this exercise on brighter days.
And one fantastic missed opportunity :( - Reykjavik Cathedral
But here is how the camera coped - this is the lost highlights view:
