Astrophotography
Read MoreProject '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.
This is a shot of the Perseid meteor shower that I caught on my camera just around the Milkyway. I made this photo from multiple stacked long exposure shots. First, it took me more then a two hours of time to take around 120 shots, then when i came home, I had to combine the best of them to get this great result. And in the end, I Post processed it in Photoshop & Lightroom.
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.
