Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and thought I'd post a couple of photos but am after some advice.

I quite often seem to have, what I can only describe as ghosting, around the edges of the dog hair in some of my photos.
It seems to ruin a lot of my photos and is very frustrating.

Camera: Canon 90D
Lenses: Canon 70-200 IS I F2.8L & Sigma 18-35 F1.8

Can anyone help me figure out what I might doing wrong. Please see the last 2 photos to see the problem I am having, you may have to see them full size to see what I mean.

Thanks for looking and for any help in advance!

Your photos are set to private so can't view them on Flickr.
Do you use sharpening when processing?
That usually produces halos if set too high.

Oh I must work out how to change that! Silly me!
And I do usually add a little bit of post sharpening but even on the raw files I get the issues.
 
Is it a lens thing?
 
I have just updated the privacy settings on Flickr so they should now be available to view on Flickr in Full Resolution

Indeed it is a damned good lens but can be a a little soft at 2.8.


Just a couple of minor comments ..
IMG_1302 by Samuel Twyford, on Flickr is a tad soft
IMG_0526 by Samuel Twyford, on Flickr is a tad noisy down to the iso
IMG_9492 by Samuel Twyford, on Flickr is a tad noisy
IMG_9600 by Samuel Twyford, on Flickr I suggest a tighter crop


But apart from that even at full size they are all decent images and I see no ghosting on any of them..
Being hyper-critical I see some blown highlights IMG_0941 by Samuel Twyford, on Flickr on the dogs tail and left shoulder
mostly unavoidable with fine hair and in strong light.
@2.8 the DoF (depth of field) is very shallow, are you sure you are not confusing an OoF (out of focus) background with ghosting?
 
I think maybe I should have a play with my aperture and try and stay away from F2.8 in the lighting conditions that I see it the most and see if it makes an improvement.
Thank you all for your replies :)
 
Hi

I am no expert but your photos look great to my eyes.
