I took the pic in RAW, converted it to JPG in photoshop.
when I put it on line you can see bands in the clouds.
whats causing that, I did no editing nothing but conversion.

Upon download & enlargement, I do not see banding.
I DO see a very dirty sensor, and a bit of Chromatic Aberration on edges of a few geese.

Hmm, I can't see any banding, even when magnified. Just the natural color variation in the clouds.

my guess you focused on the white of the middle bird. camera adjusted the gray on the white.

What kind of filter do you have on the lens?

I see a pic that to me is a bit dark, with dirt on the sensor that could be cleaned up easily in post processing.

Not seeing any banding in the clouds.

Adjust the exposure a might, clean up the sensor spots/lines and it is not real bad.

For some reason when I uploaded the pic here , the banding didnt show up. The one thing I question is folks saying the sensor is dirty, it was a dark cloudy day, what makes you think the sensor is dirty?

I don't believe that's sensor dirt at all ... but airborne bird droppings. Geese typically will do that immediately after a grazing. I know at least two unfortunate people who have been rained on with droppings from a geese flock flying above.

I took a closer look at the original photo , I see the spots, the next pics in the set did not have those spots,
must have been dust or ????????? you guys always see things I miss.
Thanks

Only the OP knows if these geese just launched (and dropped ballast), or have been flying for awhile.

What are the spots?? it could be droppings, dirt on the sensor, dirt on the lens and/or the filter.

If it's droppings, be glad you shot from the side and not underneath.

bdk,

Looks good to me; I don't think anything is "wrong", but the camera may have 'seen' variations in the cloud layers that you did not.
