Taking this photo led us into trouble, but we escape from it successfully, and I managed to make this capture.

The village of Lukomir is situated along the southern ridge of Bjelašnica and, at 1,495 m, it’s the highest inhabited settlement in BiH and the only one above 1,300 m. Lukomir is like a living ethnological museum, where the customs of nomadic tribes and Dinaric highlanders are still practiced. It’s an important part of BiH’s historical, cultural and architectural legacy and provides a unique “heritage atmosphere”. Also, the stećci scattered about the village indicate that it was already inhabited by the 14th and 15th centuries. For a few years now, the residents have been living here on a seasonal basis. From May to October the villagers work the land and tend their flocks, but they leave Lukomir during the winter because the meter-high snowfalls make it inaccessible. Of the 50 homes, 21 are inhabited during the summer and up to 4,000 sheep can graze in the surrounding meadows when the weather is good. They are kept in stone enclosures at night and guarded by Bosnian sheep dogs. The village has all of the necessary amenities – telephone, electricity, water and a sewage system. There is also a cemetery and the residents built a mosque in 1969, which was renovated in 2014.

Oprema: Canon 6D & Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Panorama sastavljena od 64 fotografije
I am lucky to live in a place away from the city that is surrounded by darkness, and as a child, every night I looked at the sky which was not full of light pollution. I spent the nights in a field that surrounds my home and enjoyed the view of the sky with a wide trail of brightness that spreads along the atmosphere, made up of thousands of stars which form Milky Way. However, growing older, I had less interest in the sky, and the more I associated myself with the city I neglected my love for astrophotography. That was until I began to notice a significant number of photographs of excellent photographers, and became fascinated with what surrounds us. The universe, which for us humans is still largely unexplored falls into some of the biggest mysteries for the human race, and also for me. For these reasons, today I photograph astrophotography among other.

Project 'Magical City: Banja Luka'' No. 1
My job as a photographer gave me a lot of new opportunities, and I took that as an advantage to make some of my projects. One of them is named ‘Magical City ’ and through it, I tried to show my love towards the city where I live. I photographed the entire city and all the places that characterize it. I was the first man that did this kind of photos of Banja Luka City. It took a year to finish the project, most of the photos were taken at night because I wanted to display the soul of the city, but not when there are people in the streets because that just represents the spirit of citizens. I focused on city only, wanted for people to see old buildings, famous monuments that stand for years in the same location and by which most of us pass every day, without paying attention. In Balkan were I live, there are all kinds of nations, and I wanted to emphasize the beauty in which we live today, to show others that war is over, that we surpassed our differences and that we live together in peace, respecting each other. Banjaluka is the cultural city, where people enthusiastically welcome everyone regardless where they come from and who they are.
Amazing Novi Sad city, and it biggest monument, Petrovaradin fortress. We stayed here for a couple of hours, to make this photo and to enjoy this beautiful view. It would be a shame not to.
