Hi everyone, Its been some time since I have been on but I am back at it. I have been practicing with some different light techniques and can't figure out why I consistently getting those little red lights in the back ground. I am using a black velvet backdrop. I think that I am in the right place for this question but please let me know if I need to redirect elsewhere. f/1.4 1/160s ISO 200 50MM

These red lights are everywhere, not just in background. These look to be reflections.
Were you shooting through a glass window?
Do you have a filter on your lens?

It would have helped if the EXIF had not been stripped from the original.

Usually these are reflections from something that sits between the lens and the subject.

Can be a filter, a glass, direct reflection from a reflective surface on the ground...

You are at the right place but asking somewhere else too never hurt. I would suggest 'for your consideration' section as this is not about softcore C&C if you see what I means.

The lenticular pattern seems to point out a water drops or something like it.

They look like lens flare you said 1.4 apeture try f8 and drag your shutter to accommodate. Assuming you're on a tripod.

I do have a UV protector on the lens.

Excuse my ignorance here but what do you mean by "It would have helped if the EXIF had not been stripped from the original" as I believe what I submitted was the SOOC shot.

No tripod but resting on floor as my tripod will not accommodate for this low of a position. I will try the F8 and adjust shutter. Its good to know the many different ways to fix.

I believe it is optical ghosting also known as coma because you were shooting wide open. Multiple flares from multiple points of light.Also you are shooting wide open.My 1.2 Nikkor can ghost under the right conditions but settles down by f 5.6.

because you were speeding and a state trooper is behind you? sorry my smart alex gene sometimes must be obeyed. I honestly do not see the redlights. if you are taking shots low to the ground a small tabletop tripod may work

What is immediately behind your subject?

You were indoors and the figure is indoors as well; you're not shooting through a window?

The red is in front of the bear, as well.
