Many of the Nikons have "Auto ISO" which allows you to set a "slowest shutter" - and cranks up the ISO to make sure you don't go slower than that in dark light. And drops the ISO again once you use flash or have better light. Priceless.

Yes, <i>that</i> Turing. Those odd patterns on the eye are a “morphgenetic pattern,” which was a favorite research subject of Alan Turing. Yes, that Turing.

By the way, the noise levels on the new Canons including the 40d and the 1D are astoundingly low ISO 400 looks smooth as can be, much like ISO 100 on my 20d. Excellent shots!

What a tight DoF window - the focus variations over just a couple mm are really interesting. Would be nice to see hi-res of the eyeball closeup. Great shots.

At least that's what this <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2007/12/27/7-bad-habits-of-digital-photographers/">Epic Edits post</a> says. Nice fly, though!
