Lilies for Her

Let me just say that the way Nikon implemented live view on the D300 rocks my world for close-up work and still life. For this image I used it to hand focus very precisely zoomed in on the petals and leaves. Not only that, but this mode features a mirror lock-up procedure which helps to reduce blur from the mirror slap. This was shot at ISO 100 (1 EV under 200 ISO setting), and it seems not half bad. For strobist info see below in the comments.
