I went out about 7 pm to experiment with my new Nikon 300s video feature. I then tried close ups of various flowers. I know one usually does not use a telephoto lens for close ups, but here are some results. I used a tripod but the light was not very good, so exposure times were in the 1/8 to 1/13 range, ISO set at 200 and the other settings on automatic. Please feel free to critique and give feedback, either here or by pmail
