imgagetalk #1 - Kashmir
Today I will start with my photo series #imagetalk. This series is about technical details, the motivation behind - and some funny or emotional things beside - my captures.
Usually the text will take you not longer than 45 sec. For those of you, who would not want to read anything, I will provide the Image first and the story second. So let's start ... .
Kashmir - The power of music
Kashmir - (52 mm / f/8 / 1/2000 s / ISO 100)
[Nikon D80/ Tamron SP 24-135 mm f/3.5-5.6]
Once I was cycling at Lake Constance and I thought: "What is Lake Constance without a Zeppelin and what a silhouette will a Zeppelin give, if I would crop it with the sky?" I tasted it out. By this I have had a song in my mind, a legendary hard rock song I'm really in love with ...
"Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face ..." [Kashmir - Led Zeppelin].
It's from 1975 and I wasn't born that time. Never the less the song inspired me much. By editing the image I saw the album cover "Remasters" directly before my eyes and I couldn't finish the capture other wise.
How powerful music can be! Now I can hear the song every time I look at this capture. The germans have a wonderful wording for this, they call this an "Ohrwurm".
I hope you like this kind of story. Just write it in the comment section below.
Thanks for coming and have always a nice "Ohrwurm" ... .

That is one heck of an inspiration bro... quite ingenious to add the silhouette too... Its so surreal man and the story behind it just adds the icing on the cake
Many thanks for your wonderful words @jo5h, have a nice rest Sunday!
Thanks for this wonderful and inspirational article.
I could understand that the song unveiled the ministry behind a Zeppelin (German airship of the 20th century ) and how magnificent the shape (silhouette) looks when it travels even as the sun sets. Even with earwigs(ohrwurm) we could still feel the memorable adventure of traveling on this beautiful magnifico.
It took me time and research to understand this ministry and I was touched and my emotions could feel the beauty of this song, I have downloaded it and I must confess it is awesome.
Thanks for sharing this awesome legendary rock song with great minds on this platform. I hope to see more from you sir.
Thanks for spending so much time @chibuzorwisdom, that is really amazing! Thanks for the awesome feedback as well! I wish you all the best and hope to see you again.
You are welcomed brotherly
Imagination brings out creativity.... That eventually creates a real artist.
An artist find its artwork ideas through its magnificent imagination power that is accompanied with the ability to transform that imaginary work into real.
All I feel in your writing you want to express your thoughts behind the shot that depicts beatiful golden view of sky where silhouette of a Zeppelin adds extra look.
And it reminds you of a old song. And you nostalgic all the time seeing this capture.
Artistic mind always in imagining and bringing so creative outputs which gives inlight of the world of artist imagination.
Many thanks for your wonderful woords @sherbanu I feel very honored. Sometimes it scares me that a picture is such a deep view in your mind. Have a nice day!
It's been my pleasure @photonenblende
Music blended with an activity you love just creates that perfect unforgettable moment and all you need to do is just live in that moment.
These are those moments that you'll never forget and one day when you're sitting with your grandkids, you'll still look back and recite them as if it was just yesterday.
Well done and captured @photonenblende..
You are right @hermannsol, hopefully we will do this one time. Thanks for your warm words, I really appreciate it. Good luck
Great concept! Is that Zepplin really there or did you photoshop it in? I have to assume without going to google translate that Ohrwurm means - ear worm in english. Because that is what you gave me here! LOL I was alive when this song came out and was lucky enough to hear them perform it then too! I give you my own Ohrwurm here, "Every Picture Tells a Story, Don't It?"
Many thanks @visualcontent for your wonderful and long feedback. No, the Zeppelin is not photoshoped. It's really there. You are right with the ear worm and I think ... jes, you have it again :-). Have a nice evening!
Inspiring image
Many thanks @katilda
Welcome to Steemit David!
I like your initiative and I hope you will make this a frequent series. For photography on Steemit I feel it is important to have an accompanying text to tell the story behind the shot, so you are spot on with this.
To show you my support I have picked this post and featured it in my weekly Comment Challenge. So expect to receive a bunch of comments and I hope you gain some true followers in the process as well. Here is the link to the challenge.
To give you some extra support I have added you to my curation and support bot, @dorabot. Expect to see some upvotes worth a total of around 2 SBD.
Many, many thanks @danielsaori I appreciate it very much.
I forgot to mention about the tag #imagetalk.
If you expect to have frequent posts it would be nice if you start to use this tag.
Thanks again @danielsaori for the big help. I edited the content for the new tag. Have a nice week, see you
David
You are welcome.
Have a nice start of your week.
Man, I have never seen a zeppelin in real life, only on tv documentaries. Are they still making them ? Have you tried flying with one ?
Yes, they already making them. There is no day without one at Lake Constance ... but a flight is very expensive. So this is the only point of view I can provide. :-)
I see this is the first of (hopefully) many #ImgTalk to come. Perhaps the tag will catch on.
I would love to see other remastered versions of other cover arts in the future.
Will you only be focusing on cover arts of albums?
Many thanks @enforcer. I will do a lot of other things as well. I'm focusing on landscape, decay and technical photography with some art works. I think the mixture makes it more interresting. I hope you will like it. Have a nice rest Sunday!
Stunning image! Breathtaking photography ... the colour and concept is magnificent! And well done on the content of your post, explaining where your inspiration came from. Thanks too for the "earworm" ... Kashmir is a great song ... I'm a traveller of both time and space 🎶 This post deserves plenty of exposure! I'll be keeping an eye on your work!
Many thanks @leighleigh, I'm very glad you say this. I will give my best! Have a nice start into the new week and hopefully we will see us here. Greetings ... and I'm a great fan of this band as well :-)
