Randy Halverson is a photographer who makes lovely time lapse videos of the sky (like Tempest and Orion and Sub Zero). I love these videos, with their dramatic music and compelling depiction of the moving night sky... but what's it look like behind the scenes? Randy just put up a short clip from an upcoming release, showing what it looks like to stand behind the camera while it's shooting one of these videos:
