The judge in today’s contest is Macro (@eaglest). "I live in south Germany near the Blackforest ("Schwarzwald"). Since I was a kid I was fascinated by taking photographs, so I saved all my money and bought my first DSLR when I was 12. Later I used medium format cameras and developed the images in my own bw-laboratory. I love to travel and discover the world. I try to record those experiences and impressions with my camera by making landscape images. My dream is to make a world tour sometime..." - Marco

There is some sense of peace to be found in isolation. I took this shot while remote outback camping in Mutawintji National Park, New South Wales, Australia. The intensity of the stars in outback Australia are something that need to be experienced to be believed. I shot this using a Canon EOS 6D with a manual focus Samyang 24mm f/1.4 ED at ISO 1600, f/1.4 and 20s exposure time.

Beautiful contrast between the warm fire and the cold vast night sky. When I look at this photo I can almost feel the outback ;)

Proxy Falls in central Oregon. West of the pacific crest along the cascade mountains everything is very lush. There is an upper and lower proxy falls, this is the lower falls. They are both very impressive however the lower falls are wider. Easily the widest cascade waterfall I have come across.

Wow, what a huge waterfall! Great idea to put a person in to show the dimensions...

The Grand Prismatic Spring is located in the Yellowstone National Park is the largest source of hot springs in the United States. An incredible place with wonderful colors.

Beautiful photo but today is timelapse thursday. So you should only post longexposure photos...
@francismoure, thanks for participating! I encourage you to use this photo in next week's Water Wednesday contest! :)
Bonsai Rock, Lake Tahoe again... And shot the same morning as yesterdays's submission, but with a very different look! This Bonsai Rock photo was a 264 second long shot, taken about a half hour before sunrise. Long exposure shots like this are a lot of fun to take when I arrive at a sunrise location early.
The blue colors and the movement of the clouds are great...
The rock with two small trees fits nicely in.
Glad you liked that one @eaglest! It's a favorite spot on the lake that can have so many different looks to it.

Yosemite Creek, Yosemite National Park (USA).
Didn't have a tripod with me for this photo, so I had to brace the camera against a rail on the bridge overlooking the creek, and hold very still. :)
Settings: ISO 50, f/20, 2.0 s.

I took this photo yesterday in Capitano Canyon Park in North Vancouver using a $5.00 app. called smooth reflections. I loaded it into my Sony a6000 and have been playing around with it for a while. It takes a number of photos and stitches them together in camera, giving you a similar effect to long exposure without the need for ND filters etc. For $5.00 what the heck?

A great little spot in maui...one of a thousand waterfalls. I didn't have a tripod with me...so I perched my camera on a rock and snapped away.

This picture has been taken in the christmas evening. Me and my uncle wanted to experiment with a little fire action. We decided to go to this old mansion you can see in the backround. Here is the outcome!
Edit: I saw that it had to be nature long exposure contest. If this photo does not count then please let me know I`ll delete this and i will post this some other time.
That's a really creative photo you posted but the theme for today is nature. So I would expect something with nature in it like landscapes or so...
Yea i get it, sadly i cant delete it from here.
I agree with @eaglest, creative shot! Feel free to submit another photo for this contest if you wish. :)
Here is my
