“Move”, a jaw-dropping time-lapse video about a world that never stands still

https://vimeo.com/aaronkeigherphotography/move

There are many time-lapse videos around, maybe too many, an inflation someone may say. But from time to time I stumble onto a time-lapse video that still manages to impress me. “Move”, by Aaron Keigher, is such a time-lapse video.

The world around us never stands still and it is this motion that gives Earth life. Without this movement, our planet could not exist. Simply put, movement breathes life into our world. Few of us have ever stopped to think about the importance of this constant motion — stop to bask in its simplicity and beauty. Far too few of us take a moment to see our universe in motion.

The time-lapse sequences have been shot in a variety of locations, among them the most famous national parks in the US. Aaron Keigher used different gear to make the video: Canon EOS 6D, EOS-1D X, EOS 5D Mark II, EOS 7D, different lenses, and more stuff. For the complete list of locations and used gear head over to the video’s description.

Canon acknowledges Rebel T6 sensor issue and release product advisory

Update: see also Roger Cicala’s comment on Canon’s definitely quick reaction to the issue. R. Cicala of Lenrentals was the first to observe the issue and post about it. Regarding Canon, Cicala says:

I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with the speed with which Canon has addressed the issue. We’ve seen problems like this ignored for months, or denied until the next version of the camera is released. Mistakes in manufacturing complex devices are inevitable. How the manufacturer handles them is the variable.

Canon press release:

Canon Europe launches city guide series inviting consumers to discover their world from a unique perspective

United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, 6th May 2015 – Today Canon announces the launch of a series of downloadable and app based city guides that offer fresh and unique perspectives of six cities across Europe – London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Milan and Amsterdam. The curated guides invite consumers to explore the world around, look deeper and seek out the fascinating and beautiful stories that unfold everyday.
The introduction of the city guides is part of Canon’s continuing ‘Come and See’ brand campaign, the latest iteration of which features two freeclimbers who explore cities around the world from unique perspectives and breathtaking vantage points. The city guide series offer a more everyday look at cities, inviting people to take a fresh look at familiar landscapes and encouraging the discovery of hidden locations from unexpected angles.

To curate each exclusive guide, Canon has collaborated with six sets of influencers, local to each selected city. Each personality brings their passion, creative flair and area of expertise to offer their unique perspective on the tour stops mapped out:

  • UK: London – Professional parkour athlete and photographer, Scott Bass
  • Spain: Madrid – Fashion and street style blogging duo, Mike & Gabriel of Cup of Couple
  • Netherlands: Amsterdam – Professional photography duo, Andres & Joyce of On a Hazy Morning
  • Germany: Berlin – Graphic desiger and blogger, Nina of Smaracuja
  • Italy: Milan – Visual street artist, Alice Pasquini
  • France: Paris – Photographer, Saúl Aguilar

Nigel Taylor, Consumer Imaging Marketing Communications Director, Canon Europe, commented, “In a world full of fascinating stories, breath-taking views and hidden gems, it’s natural that in the hustle and bustle of life we overlook and at times take our surroundings for granted. At Canon, we want to help consumers enjoy cities across Europe in all their unique glory. We hope that people will relish the opportunity to seek out new perspectives and in turn capture that beauty on camera or video to cherish forever”.

Downloadable City Guides
All six city guides will be available for download via Canon’s dedicated ‘Come and See’ website from May 1st 2015, inviting consumers to discover European cities as they’ve never experienced them before. In addition, the website provides consumers with insight into the ‘Come and See’ campaign, including videos featuring the influencers, as well as technology stories and product information.

City Guides via Canon Companion Apps
Each city guide will also be featured as part of Canon’s new EOS 760D & EOS 750D, and EOS M3 Companion apps, compatible with iOS and Android, consumers can download and use the app regardless of whether they own the product or not. Users will be able to navigate their way through guides and city maps and gain handy photography tips and advice to inspire and support them in their journey of exploration around each city¹.
