The Nature Photography Thread

Are you saying you never had a passion for learning?

No, I'm not saying never. I was just kidding. But it does seem that since I've had children, the time to just read and suck up information has dwindled.
And now my brain is so full of "stuff to do" that anything I do seem to read about gets forgotten just as quickly.
Although I must admit, I've been doing a lot more Google-ing since belonging to this forum. It seems to have re-ignited my interest for knowledge.

So are you going to give us the answer soon or what?

No, you're going to have to look it up.

It's a Pneumatic Benthic Sampler. Also known as a 'LUBS' (Large, Undisturbed Bottom Sampler).

Can you believe there's a North American Benthological Society?

[adamanteus]

It's named after the inventor.

It is? Damn... I've not found it yet then.

[anji1971]

I found listings with several names.........at least 5. That's a lot of guessing!

[Stefan-A]

It is? Damn... I've not found it yet then.

No, you haven't.

Is it an Eckman grab sampler?

[Stefan-A]

Ekman, yes.
