The magic of cross polarisation!
It's tough taking pics of fish. They're so shiny and it can hide the details.
If you polarise the light source and then add a polarising filter to the camera you can filter out all the scatter and be left with the beautiful details and colour.

More nonsense from our #Antarctic data processing. The Antarctic jonasfish (Notolepis coatsi) were attracted to the ROV lights. This one shoots off like #roderunner.

Me and @autsquidsquad.bsky.social have been annotating @schmidtocean.bsky.social #Antarctic footage today and it may have driven us a little.... Strange.

THUNK!
#ProjectESCA works! Squid like the lure and a 360 camera means nowhere to hide.
Likely a glacial or clubhook #squid, this is 200m in #Antarctica

#ProjectESCA is very light-sensitive, even detecting flashes from tiny organisms!
Something crashes, letting out a bio-firework in surprise!
