Wow, as always, thanks to Victor Khong for passing along another gem.

This is a fantastic video put together from over 100 hours of photographs taken with up to nine simultaneously used Canon 5D Mark II Cameras during the preparation of the Space Shuttle for Launch.

You get to see the Space Shuttle being moved into the assembly building, lifted with a crane, rotated to a vertical position and hoisted onto the rocket for launch. Fantastic.

Here is the story behind the video.

For those of us that are into cameras, especially the old cameras, there can be a certain attraction to finding some previously down-on-its-luck camera and bringing it back to life.

For others, there may just be a desire to get a good bargain camera that isn’t as bad as someone thinks.

So, I’ve added a new section to the site for finding these parts cameras. The parts camera and repair section of 365cameras.com has camera parts and tools for fixing them. It also has repair manuals. Whether you need a Nikon, Canon or other camera repair manual, you’re likely to find it here.

There are always some good deals going on there if you’re into getting something and fixing it up.

If you don’t see what you need, use the search. Say you want to find Nikon lens cap, just type the words Nikon cap into the search box. Maybe you need a battery door for your Nikon, just type the words Nikon battery door in the search box.
