Took a shot last night with a Olympus E-500. 60sec F5.0 at 16mm. ISO 200. The photo looked ok on the camera, but as you can see when on the big screen it has red, blue and white specks all over it. Can someone please tell me what would cause this. the link is to a cropped section at full size.
Thanks

That was my first thought... that is a boat load of em though...from the colors looks like both stuck and hot pixels. |

| The long exposure is the key... it's hot pixels. This is not uncommon. The camera probably has "long exposure noise reduction" or something similar. Try turning this feature on and see what kind of improvement you get. CAUTION... us9ing this feature, if available, will probably result in a 60s shot taking 120s, because the camera takes another exposure with the shutter closed. |

These squares look like they're all different sizes. Hot pixels are usually distinct spots, i.e. individual pixels. I've never seen a noise pattern like that before.
Oh... you said 60s shutter time? Hmmmm.... at that shutter speed it could be sensor noise. |

The guy in the car stayed that still for a full minute? I'm either very impressed or very scared. Not sure which.
I think Kirbic is spot-on, regarding the spots. |

I think you will find the answer to your question here. Good luck.

Specifically, read the section titled "Fixed noise and hot pixels".

yeah, some of those "hot pixels" actually have nice little borders around them |
