Tested lens, got funky stripes in sky...
I tested the Nikon 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor on my d200.
No filter at all. Got some stripes in the sky and don't know what it is. Can someone tell what it is? It's a large file...the only way to show everything. located at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/newmetro/ Thanks |

If I look hard enough at it, or screw around with Curves/Levels, I can see JPG artifacts, but that's not at all surprising, as you're using fairly heavy JPG compression (~6:1 relative to the TIF.) Are you sure it's not your monitor? If you move the image around on the screen, do the stripes follow the image? rafe b www.terrapinphoto.com Thanks for the reply. Yes, the stipes move as the image moves. I am looking on an oler monitor, but other pictures look fine. Where does it show the compression ratio? When you say 'heavy' is that good or bad? Should I change it, and to what? Thanks. |

Sounds like the original problem may be posterization or banding ... you may have too low a color depth set in the video card's properties. http://desktoppub.about.com/cs/graph...terization.htm |

It's what happens when people get too emotionally invested in
equipment. It's sad, really. |
