Beautiful scene, lovely magical light the moon and its reflection light on the water surface of great looking scene. the long exposure with the city light degraded a bit the sky, but that?s is normal result with this parameters, the verticals lines appears on my monitor too, I did some clean up work hope you don not mind, Saeed

Thanks again Steve, for your comment. I do not want to argue that there are no hot pixels in this exposure. Have to check this and the noise on my office CRT. As the streak vs point rendereing of flying objects in long time exposures, this obviously depends on the distance of the objects from the viewer and the direction of movement with respect to the lens axis and thus can very well be a point in a 30Sec exposure. Anyway in a shot like that I would prefer not to have any lighted flying objects at all on it. Cheers Jörg

Thanks Joggie for your helpful comment. I am using an Lcd at home, maybe that is why I do not see the noise, I will check on my CRT at work today. I will repost with a smaller moon, later. Incidently, I rated your critical but helpful comment as excellent. Always better to get some hints what to improve. The positve, flattering comments one usually gets are nice to have, too(It is just a fantastic friendly community), but they most of the time do not help to improve!
Thanks, Regards Jörg

Hi Jörg,
As Joggie mentioned - if you turn up your brightness a little bit, it becomes more noticeable.
The reason I thought that some of the other 'hot' pixels were noise rather than aircraft is the exposure time. On a 30s exposure, I would have expected anything moving to leave a streak rather than a dot.
Checking on my (crt) monitor in a well lit office at work - the noise (both the vertical lines and the pixels) are virtually invisible. I guess that's one of the things about using an LCD panel - they tend to be much brighter than an crt.
Many thanks for giving my comment an 'excellent'
Best regards
Steve

Hi Jorg
Nice moody image. Agree with Steve on the vertical lines which is worse along the right edge of the image - The reason you cannot see them may be your screen setting that is too dark. I also think the size of the moon is a bit too big, giving the image a bit of an unbalanced feel. It should fit the size of the reflection on the water. Great work anyhow. Kind regards.
Joggie

Hi Steve, thanks for your elaborate comment. I see some noise in the city lights (Oaklandto the left and ctr) especially where they are reflected by some haze. I cannot see the vertical lines of noise you mentioned, can you point them out for me? As far as hot pixels are concerned I found one blue spot and a couple of tiny white ones. This is the Bay Area with probably 10 plus airports, three big ones, so the white flying objects are starting or landing or in air planes of different sizes. The view goes from Tiburon headlands across Angel Island towards Oakland, South Bay and SF (to the right behind Angel Island).
Thanks again, I rated your comment excellent by the way. Regards Jörg

Ji jorg -
Beautiful composition - I love the moon - what lens did you use to capture that?
The shot has suffered a little from noise - looks like there are one or two 'hot pixels', and there are some distracting vertical lines of noise (from post-processing?)
that aside - I think this is quite a magical shot - I really love the way the light plays on the water - diffused by the motion of the waves and the long exposure.
Like it :)
Steve
PS - do u know what the three moving objects are lower right of centre frame?
