Abstract
Time-lapse photography (TLP) has been used in scientific applications for over 100 years, and has been used in deep-sea operations for the last three decades. Here I review the use of TLP in deep-sea science by reference to case studies drawn from a 20-year history of “Bathysnap” (Southampton Oceanography Centre’s TLP system) deployments in the NE Atlantic. Examples are given of: a) echiuran feeding, b) xenophyophore growth, c) benthopelagic scavengers, and d) long-term studies of phytodetritus. Although the technology for TLP will change over time, the concept remains of great value in studying the remote deep-sea environment.
