A few nights ago I went to the city to take some night photos. When I loaded them onto my computer later on that night, each one of the night photos have lines in them. These lines would show up on bright areas such as street lights and the bright lights off the tall building. The camera that I use was Hasselblad 503CWD-II and I am not sure what is going on. Maybe I forgot to set something with my camera?

Thanks in advance for those who can help me out with this!
Ok, I’ve uploaded two of the photos, here are the links.

I am a 15 yr. in the biz experienced film photographer. I shoot a Bronica gs1 6×7, a 4×5 Toyo view camera, and mess around with a Nikon d90. I will be stepping in to the fashion arena and need to make an investment in going digital. I have been looking at the Hasselblad 503cwd with a cfv back16mp and a Mamiya RZ67 proIID with a zd back 22mp. If you are a professional photographer, let me know your opinion, what do you shoot, am I missing anything, would a 645 work the same as the RZ67. Hate to spend over $10,000 and regret it

I think ideally for you the Canon 1DS MKIII would be the camera. At 21MP, it is unequaled. With the work that you are doing, the 35mm lenses would be a major plus and Canon L lenses are superb. As we all know, 35mm lenses are sharper and much faster than medium format lenses. Just think, you’ll be able to throw your backgrounds out of focus with lenses as fast as 1.2. Canon has a 50mm 1.2 and an 85mm L 1.2 they both are a photographer’s dream come true. Unlike the medium format, you have a very wide variety of zoom lenses to choose from, many of them 2.8 or faster. They also have a number of pimes that are 2.0 or faster. With this system, you can also move into the mystical world of fisheye photography economically. Their awesome 15mm 2.8 is less than $600.00 which is in great contrast to the cost of a medium format fisheye lens and it is sharper too. This camera can be had for $7999.00 and with 2 or 3 of their fine lens for about $10000.00. I say go for it!
