  • This is yet another beautiful shot +Jeff Sullivan! If I may ask, do you have issues with hot pixels at all when you bump up the ISO? And if so, how do you go about getting rid of them? Lightroom and Camera Raw doesn't seem to be doing it for me. I was under the assumption, it handled it automatically.

  • Hot pixels seem to increase with temperature +Mark Esguerra, so my night shots at altitude tend to be fairly free of them on my Canon 5D Mark III (and even the Mark II).  A few seem to star to show up when the RAW file is first read in, but they don't show up later.  Perhaps even a relatively modest luminance noise reduction includes some amount of single pixel spot removal in Lightroom 4 and/or 5.

  • +Jeff Sullivan Oh duh, silly me didn't even take temperature into account. I cranked the ISO last when I was in your neck of the woods and noticed more hot pixels than what I'm used to seeing. I just shot away without much thought about it. At first I even though I was catching some flies or spots of rain with the headlamp. He he. Thanks for the info, I'll give those a try in LR and keep temperature in mind for my next night shoot.

  • Jeff when is your Death Vally night shot class going to be?  Any updates on that?

  • The Chemung Mine. I was up there last October and wondered what it would look like at night. Thanks!
