The small world ... insects and other tiny things.
Most times these days I have my macro lens with me instead of the wide angle lens. So, most of my woodland photos are actually macros. Whenever a butterfly or other insect is patient enough with me, I try to take a photo of it, and most times I am really surprised how cool some of these tiny creatures look when you have them 1:1 on the monitor.

There is a little puddle in a forest nearby which most times is at least wet, if not full of water. Almost always I find an image there. -- Johann Piber

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a very impatient person, but from time to time I enjoy waiting even several minutes at a lake or at the sea for a long exposure photo.
The smooth water looks awesome after you have exposed the image for such a long time, but also rivers and especially waterfalls look so much better when you let the shutter open for a fraction of a second, depending on the flow of the water.

There was a little bit mist on the other side of the lake, the water was calm and the sky was cloudless, but the rising sun painted it awesome orange. -- Johann Piber

Here are a few more pictures that I like but which don't quite fit into any of the other categories. Except of taking photos of people and man made objects, I take photos of anything I might like or that looks pleasing to my eyes.

I love being in the mountains. There are not many things that I enjoy more than to sit on a mountain peak and watch the rising sun. Because I'm living in Carinthia in the soth of Austria, among other mountains, the Nock Mountains in Carinthia, the Julian Alps in Slovenia and the Italian Dolomites are the places I visit on a quite regularly basis.
