Am I seeing things?

Can anyone else see vertical lines in this image, most prominent in the sky around the rods? They are just about visible on the unprocessed RAW in LR1.4, but the processing seems to have brought them out more. What on earth is causing them? Nikon D200 btw.

 

[Mr Bing]

yeah i can see them mate no idea what they are though

 

[ppp]

yup

tip of the rods down to the guys left hand, also a couple or three showing between the two guys

There's something there that looks a bit like the paper got creased during printing, but as its a JPEG that cant be right.
I've no idea what it is. Hope it's not on all your shots

 

[ppp]

any other similar pics recently with lines?

 

[bulb763]

Going to have a proper look through some recent shots tomorrow. I certainly hope not though...

This problem is fairly well documented and primarily affects the Canon 20D and The Nikon D200. Canon attempted to reduce it's occurrance with a firmware fix whilst Nikon's solution was a return to Nikon tweak of the amplifier gains......see Nikon's bulletin here http://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nikoneurope_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=16474

As with all bulletins, the error is "talked down" to avoid mass returns by people who are never likely to encounter it.

Concensus at the time was that the pixel density was set very close to the limits of the technology.

You've not been watching The Omen, have you?

Saw that but it seems to be about lines which are much finer than what I am seeing :shrug: Will take a closer look later.
