Early morning in San Diego from my hotel room. For reference Sea World is just to the right of this. This is with the 180 which is a older lens from Nikon that I wanted to try out.

Any issues with "hot pixels" or white spots as reported here:

Nikon D800 – Long exposure issues «
From my perspective this is not a realistic evaluation. Running an exposure for 6 minutes like this without having in camera NR turned on is inappropriate at best. For that matter anything longer than 1 second maybe less should have this attribute active. Even Phase One cameras with their long exposure capabilities will do this.

Thanks for clarifying - I didn't see the bit about NR being turned off - doesn't seem like a good idea.

Yeah there was some discussion down in the text below the images, regarding his not running the NR. Indeed seems like a bad idea with poor results.

I haven't used NR with my D700 and I get 10 minutes usually but then again I haven't printed any...it is a pain to wait on it..
