• There’s a little space geek in all of us, I think. So, of course, we have to lead with this amazing time-lapse from Matthew Givot. Endeavour, you will be missed!
  
• Speaking of time-lapses and space geekery, Christopher Malin took a bunch of NASA-provided imagery and created this bit of awesomeoness:
  
• Alfred Eisenstaedt shot stars of a different kind. From President John F. Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe, Eisie was one of the most renowned portrait photographers in history. Life has a great bit about how, at the very end of his portrait sessions, he’d pull a Hitchcock and jump in for cameo.
• San Francisco is our back yard. So it stands to reason that this caught our eye. Director Ross Ching plans a series like this, so watch out for other cities he’ll cover too.
  
• And finally, everyone’s favorite wearable camera now has an update. We’ve got it available for pre-booking, but what better way to show it off than with a video?
  

 And now, for the BorrowLenses.com Roundup!

That’s it for this week’s Cool Stuff. As always, questions and feedback are welcome in the comments below.

Dragging my carcass out of bed at 4:30am on Labor Day, I hauled myself over to the Marin Headlands to shoot for a piece on Tilt-Shift lenses. To my surprise, I found fellow photographer and BorrowLenses.com VP of Marketing Jim Goldstein already there, hard at work as well.

• Time-lapse fans, rejoice! Tom Lowe, one of the masters in this field, has finally released his long-awaited film, TImescapes. Serious fans can even pony up $99 to get the full-resolution, 4K file on a USB stick, or the Cineform-edited file on a hard drive for $299. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the trailer.
  
• From time-lapse to cinemagraphs, alternative forms of motion storytelling are gaining momentum. Here’s a preview of some technology that might just make its way into the next version of Photoshop or Premiere, to make creating cinemagraphs easier.
• Got a ton of images spread out over multiple photo-sharing sites? I do. This app might just be your ticket to locating an upload quickly.
• Landscape photographer Peter Lik is one of the best-selling fine art photographers around today. Here’s a video showing a behind-the-scenes look at his collection of images from New York city. You can find more on Peter’s YouTube channel.
  
• Steadicam shots aren’t easy; here’s one from the movie Hugo that made the operator sigh in relief when it was over. GREAT behind-the-scenes look at what goes into a movie scene (including some interesting peeks into lighting and set movement).
• Remember that Leica B&W digital-sensor-camera that we were scratching our heads about a few weeks ago? Here’s a side-by-side comparison of what it can do for your B&W photography. Of course, I’m sticking with Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
• The guys at DigitalRev are awesome. Here’s Kai, giving you 50 photo tips in 15 minutes. Roll tape!
• We leave you today with this outstanding contribution from the folks at The Camera Store in Calgary. Oh Canada!

• If you’ve read this feature before, you know we love our time-lapses. Well, this is one heck of a time-lapse. Using tradition techniques alongside tone-mapping, this feature used 35,000 photos taken over 7 months to produce this video. Check it out below, and see Drew Geraci’s other videos here.
• iPhone photographers, listen up. Jag.gr claims to have an app in the works that’ll let you shoot and save RAW data in a TIFF wrapper off your iPhone.
• Adobe is revealing their Production Premium CS6 suite of apps at NAB. These include Premier and After Effects CS6.
• Petapixel has a great piece on 3D sterographs made in France in the 1930′s. They gave me a bit of a headache, but they are really cool.

  The Canon 1D C

  Canon’s on a bit of a roller coaster lately, so the next few stories are about them. We start with the bad news: looks like there is a light leak issue with the new 5D Mark IIIs after all.

• It looks like the Canon 1Dx’s ship date has now slipped to June. It was supposed to be out this month.
• That hasn’t stopped Canon from introducing new cameras. First, the concept camera they showed briefly last year has a name: the Canon 1D C.
• And, as if that weren’t enough, they have the C300′s big brother too, the C500.
• 500px fans, rejoice! There’s a new plan available for you, in between the “free” and the “Awesome” plans. Check out the new “Plus” plan here.
