Stratlanta, great set of shots from Big Sur. I was just there last week! Here is my (first) offering from my trip out to CA, which just happens to be from Big Sur.

Thanks Mashuto - appreciate it! Love that pic of yours - think I have one somewhere from the exact same spot! I think I could have spent a week just shooting in Big Sur!!
Decided on two photos from Big Sur, possibly a third that I may edit later. Here is the second. Tried some star trails. Never done them before. I know they are usually done in multiple exposures so as to not overheat the sensor and not get bad long exposure noise. Well, I got tons of hot spots, but did my best to clean it up.
Anyways, in case anyone was interested, here is a 1813 second exposure from the 6D.

And of course, thanks! I probably wouldn't recommend doing it this way though as I have read there is always the potential for damage to the sensor for such a long exposure. Not to mention that long exposures create long exposure noise, and for such a long exposure like this one, there was a ton, with lots of hot spots and bright pixels. The usual way for star trails is to take multiple shorter exposures then blend them later. And if I was going to attempt this again that is probably what I would do. Shoot a single exposure with settings to expose the ground properly, then do the multiples for the star trails and blend it all together later.
