Does your flash emit a red beam to achieve focus? If you were using 2 flashes you might have had a timming issue with the beam or shutter speed. I have had this from other peoples flashes in my shots.

Nice photo without the banding. Are you aware of the method of NOT having closed eyes? Tell all to CLOSE their eyes, open on count of three, take picture immediately as they open their eyes.

Interesting...my printer printed pictures just like that when the print head went bad.

I have seen this before from my Z10, but never from my D3000. The picture was taken at iso 200, 1/60 F4.5 I think.
I had my flash mounted and was aiming at a light part of the wall close to the ceiling.

Look at the woman to the left. There are redish stripes running up her dress and the shot was very noisy. Other shots were taken in the same conditons only moments before and after--in the same spot. But they were fine.


The only time I have experienced this was when I had the camera on for too long. As the sensors temperature continue to rise, I began to notice noise and banding across the dark portions of my images. I don't know if that is what you are experiencing but it might be something for you to consider.

Hope you find out what is causing this...

Yes it's not her dress. I can see it in his shirt and throughout as well.

That same thing happens to my grandson after eating a bowl of pasta!

Had you just finished a lunch of say spaghetti?

I am finding that strange random things seem to happen with digital that did not happen with film. I have no idea what happened in the photo but I'll bet one of our electronic or pp folks on this site will solve it for you.

I just googled ''grainy lines in digital photos''. I suggest you do the same. There are examples of what appears to be the exact same thing.

I can't imagine a camera taking images like that, that's a common occurance when printing a pic with a printer with low ink or a bad print head.

I googled -- didn't like the answers very much.

Going to be shooting again soon, so will watch to see if it happens again.

Don't blame you, the answers weren't very positive but it may be the explanation. For what it's worth, I downloaded it and tweaked it a bit which made it much better.

To be completely honest, I only wanted the woman in the black dress. My wife started to complain when she walked over to join the group and I zoomed in.

I don't think he was blinking, though--I have another shot of him with a baby bottle in his mouth.

It's a bit overexposed but I tried to tone down the lighting and despeckle the noise with a tiny adjustment with exposure and shade.

Just a guess but to me it looks like the picture is overexposed. The wall and the faces are blown out. It could be that the combination of the white wall and the flash blew out the photo, overloaded the sensor and created the noise. I would like to see the photo taken without flash and an increase in ISO.. IMHO
