An experiment

in close-up and macro mode with the new camera.

This is one of the red-hot poker blooms that figured in my Blip for Saturday.

I was trying out a variety of different settings on the camera in an attempt to familiarise myself with the settings and controls.

For my own records and information I have pasted below the EXIF headers for the picture:
