Thanks useful information: 0
I took some photos at the Light Walk meet the other night and ended up with a number of photos with the ghosting effect. I actually really like the effect but I would like to understand 1) why it happens and 2) If I didn't want the effect how do I avoid it. Just for interests sake!
CAMERA: Nikon D800, Nikon D7000
LENSES: AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Macro, Sigma 10 - 20mm F/4 - 5.6, Sigma 150 - 500mm F/5 - 6.3 APO DG OS, Nikkor 18 - 200mm F/3.5 - 5.6 VRII,
Sigma 70 - 200mm f/2.8 APO EX DG OS, Tamron SP 24 - 70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD, Sigma 85mm F/1.4 EX DG, Nikkor AF-S 16-35mm F/4 ED VR, Nikkor AF-S 200-500 f/5..6E ED VR

It happens cause you are using a slow shutter speed and things (people, cars etc) move through your shot whilst the shutter is open.
It can be fun to create your own Ghost shots given the right location.
Avoiding it will be hard, when you are using low light and long shutter speeds. Only true way is to not have anyone/thing moving in your photo while the shutter is open. OR take several shots (use a tripod) and then layer them all and hopefully mask out the ghosts on each layer.

Constructive Critique of my photographs is always appreciated

Thanks Rick - that explains why the photo in this thread of mine doesn't have the ghosting effect. I did manage to clone a ghost out in one of my shots
