Those smiles...

I made this image just before going back home from shooting streams, this kids are just happy to be pictured so i took some shots of them. This are native village people live near mountains. Taken with Sigma lens 28 105mm at 38mm F5.6 1/400's ISO200.

Rush... in Blue.

I made this image in a rush... i dont have time to setup my softbox to take this one cause my sister just ask me to take her picture while dress from attending a pageant night(shes one of the judge), what i did is use a 50mm prime but then switch to my sigma lens and i think this looks better shooting it at a longer focal length (its' really what i love using for portraits). I still used an off camera flash with just diffuser on it place camera right on lightstand. Taken with sigma lens 28 105 at 105mm F5.6 1/20's ISO200

Slow down...

This is a water stream image i took lately. The road to this site is really tough and hard! i had to make the most of it and i think i got what i came for. The sunlight though hidden from the clouds still makes my shutter speed to fast to make the water like silk, so i used an ND4 filter and a CPL stuck together just to slow down my shutter. But still not enough so i used the compensation. Taken with sigma lens 28-105mm at 45mm 2/5s F29 ISO200.

Sharp or Not Sharp...

I've been fun using sigma lens lately and this lens can be compared to the giants (Nikon and Canon). But what i like to share is about the use and reviews of many lenses. What ive found based on my lens test (i mean really test) if you get to read reviews of lenses you want to purchase, sometimes it disappoints you on the reviews that this or that lens is unsharp. I think most of the time, lenses are mis used! Test the lens at all apperture (specially 2.8 - 4 lenses) use a tripod and you will see that you just have to master your equiptment for us to benefit. Even a cheap 2.8 lens can be very good if you know how and tested it several times. Me i test the lens night time using up to ISO1600 and found this lens very sharp (maybe not as sharp as the pricey ones). So what i've concluded that if this lens is sharp at 1/8 to 1/25's at night (using tripod) its sure is sharper using it daytime! Test your lens and you'll see waht i mean... every lens has a very sweat spot! 2.8 (Usually at 3.5 or 4) c",)

A man selling smoked fish on the street for a living.. I love the nice bokeh here. Have been fun shooting people on the street doing their everyday life. Sigma lens 70 200mm at 200mm F3.5 1/500's ISO400

Kalakal...

This is an image belongs to my album in one of the photosharing sites named "Photo Journalism" These kids are collecting recycleable materials so they could sell them to the junkshop. They were very happy with their catch! Sigma lens 70 200mm at 200mm F2.8 1/250's ISO400.

Motor De Paa...

I've been testing my new lens lately and also fun of candid shots on the street. Here is another one i like. just in time the kid look at me when i press the shutter. Use continous mode on focus for moving subject. Use Sigma lens 70 200mm at 200mm F3.5 1/125's ISO400.

Oissstt!!!

Recently i bought my first real telephoto lens. Im so excited to try out the lens. it's true that once you've use a 2.8 lens fast lens you'll never look back! This image is a candid shot and the wind blown look hair is really fantastic! I use the sigma 70 200 2.8 APO EX (not the DG macro version, this one is better sharp at all apperture even wide open). Sigma lens 70 200mm at F3.2 at 200mm ISO200
