Here’s a beautiful musical offering for you from Eleven Shadows

Some beautiful new music. I record music as Eleven Shadows. Immerse yourself in new worlds. And yes, I created some of this video with my Pentax camera and a Lensbaby lens! Check it out! Please let me know if you like it in the comments!

This Eleven Shadows song is part of a new album, “The Seahorse in the Center of your Mind“. You may listen to the rest of the album on Bandcamp. Thanks!

P.S. The video I created features the wondrous sculptures of Ricardo Breceda as well as a church and fountain in Borrego Springs, CA.

Title: Temple Tree Star Trails
Info: Nikon D7000, Tokina 11-16mm lens at 11mm. This is a combination of 100 individual photos, with each one 30 seconds, f/4.5 ISO 400, all stacked together for a total of 50 minutes. Tree illuminated by the infernally bright moon and headlights of a car. Taken around 11:00 pm 22 March 2013.
Photographer: Ken Lee
Location: Zion National Park, Utah U.S.A.

I had this really great idea for this photo, I really did.  I was aimed the other way, attempting to shoot the the large rock cradled in the cathedral of rocks here at the Temple of Sinawava.  But the super bright moon seemed determined to have its way with my wide angle lens, appearing wherever I seemed to aim it.  I looked up at the stars in the other direction, and saw how beautiful the moonlight shone on this tree.  Sometimes it’s good to look the other way.  A good photo may be lurking in that direction.

Equipment:  Nikon D7000, Tokina AT-X 116, Feisol tripod.
