Oh I have seen one of these before

. However I found it on the side of the road dead

. Probably having been struck by a passing vehicle. I picked it up and placing it in a bit of tissue, I brought it home to photograph under the stereomicroscope. I think I posted some images from it back in the old forums, got one of its eyes knocked out I think. Great shot Nikola

Funny...Tom told me I couldn't post any of those barflies that I used to date on here.

That is very beautiful. Really sharp. I am not familiar with your camera model, but, I was intrigued by the ISO of 64. Not many digital cameras go down to ISO64?

Not many, Bill, but some of them goes even more down to ISO 50.
Here is link with some explanations and consideration about ISO, noise, correct exposure and aperture.

I love low ISO! Unless I'm forced to, I try to always keep my Canon Rebel XT (D350 in Europe) set at 100. That is as low as it will go.

Low ISO - low noise. Besides, Canon's anti-noise solution (CMOS sensor + software) is the best. It's quite visible on large print layouts.
