Gave the studio lights a damn good thrashing today, its a good comparison from using the flashguns at the club before.

Long and short of it, these rule :D

Not a bad shot, but all i can see is the railings to be honest.

Can anyone tell me why all my pics that have a smooth graduating background colour keep coming out like this? instead of a smooth transition of the colours they're in stages, if that makes sense. I think its like jpeg artifacts but even the raw images have it, although not as bad.

Could there be a problem with my camera?
 
What i mean is its not smooth, as the colour goes from dark to light its in steps rather than just a smooth transition. Its hard to explain but if you look closely at th pic i posted you'll see what i mean.

SteveOBHave first pointed it out to me on one of my competition entries and i just put that down to having the camera set to vivid, but this time the camera was set to normal. I then thought it must be Lightroom compressing the exported jpeg too much but its also present on the RAW file straight off the camera.

I cant understand why its doing it.

I think I see it now... it's almost like a stepwise vignetting!
Can you show an unprocessed RAW (link it) and a low compression JPEG (HQ)? Maybe this will allow others to help.

I personally think it might be down to the settings on camera, perhaps?

I have this occasionally but I can never work out why!

I know I've posted this before, but to me it is quite evident in the blue sky. Perhaps over saturation?

It's due to our monitors :)

It's why the Hazro 24" monitor is the best one for it, I cannot remember the name of the type of panel it uses but that's the type you need. :)
 
I never thought of that, I'm using a rubbish TN film Samsung effort and it really is poor for photo work. But saying that Ive not noticed this on other peoples photos.

Its only recently Ive noticed it on mine. I have other photos that look fine.

Heres a link to a full sized Jpeg. Its actually not as bad as i thought full size, but as soon as i resize it goes like the smaller version above. Tried CS3 and LR2 and set the quality to the highest it will go.
 
The quality can be the highest you like, but our monitors will always show it, it's due to the type of panels.

I'll find some comparisons later to show you :) - Editing pics right now!
