TGIF: Nautilus clip from "Ocean Deep"

Clips from the BBC series Planet Earth Ocean Deep episode have found their way to YouTube. The clip embedded above starts in a deep (guessing 750m) gorgonian field on a Northeast Pacific seamount, and moves to follow a foraging nautilus that migrated into a shallow water reef by night, from ~400m depth.

Wow, that's such amazing footage- bonk! Can you imagine an ammonite? So cool.
I told my wife we would get the series but only once we get an HDTV to fully appreciate the photography..

Yertotallyright. I'm holding out for the same. Cheapest flat HDTV I could find was 15" for $350, last I checked. How's your luck, HB?

Well, I just bought an iMac and a waterproof digital camera, so I think I'm maxed out on electronics for a while, but that hasn't stopped me from looking- in Canada true HD (1080 p) is still up there- about two thousand for a 46". And HDDVD players are expensive still as well. One day.
