Minin Bogaz (2387 m) & Bobotov kuk (or Ćirova Pećina, 2522 m, far right) from Pitomine (DURMITOR NATIONAL PARK)

            МИНИН БОГАЗ И БОБОТОВ КУК СА ПИТОМИНА

Први дан децембра, ујутру. У 42 године мојих многих посета, први пут гледам Дурмитор у децембру. Из кампинга Мине Шамшала на Питоминама отвара се поглед на Савин кук, Стругу, са које се улази у Калицу, Шљеме, Међед и баријеру која сакрива Локвице, Минин Богаз, Облу Главу, Рбатину и Боботов Кук (Ћирову Пећину). Изван слике лево је Међед, чија сенка покрива средину слике, ону таласасту баријеру која одваја цирк Локвице од Црног језера.

► █░▓    FIRST DECEMBER DAY this year. Morning view from the camping site run by Mina Šamšal at Pitomine. This excellent location has been void of guests since a day or so ago when the last one - a bold German solo traveler - left with his camper due to grim weather.  The rather low snow cover this year helps to accentuate the relief on the flanks below Minin Bogaz, further emphasized by the sidewards light direction of the low December sun. Međed (2287 m, left beyond the frame) casts its long shadow on the flanks leading to Lokvice cirque. 
Minin Bogaz is the last Durmitor's peak I have climbed, thanks to Đoko Šibalić. We made a traverse of the ridge I've been dreaming about for decades. It proved easier than I thought. 
By and large, Minin Bogaz and Prutaš are being regarded as the most beautiful peaks of the whole group and are gaining in popularity since 'Durmitor Ringway' has made them more accessible. 

Panasonic DMC-G80 with Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lens sporting a circular polarizing filter. Handheld.
I have set the focal length deliberately close to that of the acclaimed 75mm f/1.8 Olympus prime, to observe the perspective and angle of view. Extra resolution of this lens would probably be much welcome in this image. Contrary to what most other authors report, I find this focal length very useful and applicable in practice.
Why polarizing filter? It does unnaturally darken the sky, but some people like it and it produces an effect of high altitude. On the positive side, it removes the perspective hue and saturates the colors, bringing up the scenery in a way you can't do later in post.

Out-of-the-camera jpeg, edited in the commendable IrfanView. Olympus lens has no stabilization in itself but the integration with this Panasonic body is perfect and the colors are - strange enough - perhaps more accurate than what the native Panasonic lenses provide. With a Panasonic lens I have to constantly adjust colors in post. Less of this fuss & hassle with the Olympus.
