13 Time-Stretching Long Exposure Photos

This week, we asked you to submit your best long exposure photos. Your impressive submissions ranged from beautiful time-lapse shots of busy highways streaked with car headlights to refreshing photos of running water and star trails on moonless nights. Our guest curator, freelance photographer Finn Beales, selected his favorite 13 shots.

"I was surprised how creative some of the entries were. Inspiring, particularly the light painting over natural landscapes," Beales said. "These perfectly suited the challenge … surprising and surreal."
