Architeuthis again (never a dull moment in New Zealand)

[Jean]

I see you've got somewhere other than the science building carpark to thaw them out!!!!!!!!!

Here's another from 11-10-04, Steve organising the squid before we 'transported' it to the table. That's digestive gland draining away, there's a floor beneath too! Still, we're lucky this building is soon to be demolished!!!

:P

This is another form 11-10-04, before Steve untangled the arms. This is pretty much how it looked when it had thawed, before we moved it.

Matt:

Thanks so much for sharing this with the community, these pics are AWESOME, really high quality, THANKS.

 

[Phil]

Absolutely agree with The Leader. This is fantastic; thank you.

 

[Infusoria]

Cheers, I have quite a few more.

I'll keep posting them then... I've reduced the size odf these pictures for internet consumption. Originally they are 1280 by 1024 pixels.
:P

These are of the second Giant squid. It's smaller and a male.

 

[Infusoria]

I was thinking if people are interested I can ftp the original pictures to my website and people can download them from there. It would mean that it wouldn't clog up this site with 200K plus images.

Just a thought...

This one is of me (Thanks to Steve for taking the picture).

 

[Infusoria]

A couple more...

 

[Infusoria]

More...

 

[Infusoria]

It doesn't seem to let me post more than three at a time. So to continue...

 

[tonmo]

Great to see a pic of you, Matt! Forgive me for asking, but is that a piece of squid gut in your hair?

 

[Infusoria]

No, I think you're refering to my sunglasses, still you can never be too careful...



So, do you want me to post the higher rez photos on my website?

 

[Infusoria]

Hi,

These ones are from the TV shoot so have arty lighting!

:P

Something big and quite different is about to happen in another week (I can assure you that this is a one off, and never attempted before). Keep your eyes and ears peeled for Architeuthis news!
