My blog, although I don’t see myself as a blogger but as a Photographer I will try to blog some interesting material during the weeks.
Expect at least 2 updates a week.

Sigma 120-300 f2.8 OS HSM

/21 Comments/in , /by

Today a small “review” on the Sigma 120-300 f2.8 OS HSM EX lens.
For years I’ve been using the Canon 100-400L for most of my sports and “private” work, and although I love the lens I sometimes missed shooting on f2.8 especially with soccer, however also realizing that long f2.8 lenses are incredibly expensive and often only are available in primes I always forgot about it. When Sigma released their 120-300 f2.8 OS HSM EX lens I was more than interested, and finally I bit the bullet.

Now I have to fill you in on some of the history and you understand why I waited so long.
I started out with the 100-400L, but replaced it by the optical better 80-400OS from Sigma, which was replaced after a year due to the weak AF (slow and often hunting), I decided to try the 150-500 from Sigma because at that time I was more into zoos, birds etc. but that one also fell through, to soft at 500 and also bad AF. So I ended up buying the Canon 100-400L for the second time….. you would think I would stay with it, and I did for a while, but now with the 120-300 f2.8 I think I finally found a replacement.

 

Let’s first look at how they look next to each other, because beware the Sigma is not for the weak….

New images Angela

Today some new images from Angela from a few weeks ago, shot during workshops.

For me smoke is always a magical ingredient. When ever you’re stuck in a location (or creative) add some smoke and voila in 90% of the cases it’s the thing missing. Sometimes we will use smoke as “mist” and sometimes as you can see in these shots as real structures.

Your questions….

/31 Comments/in /by

For the coming two weeks I’m forced to cancel my shoots and workshops due to a problem with my knee.
I got this during the filming for the KelbyTraining videos (imagine how awesome the videos will be :-)), so that means that I have less images/video to fill the blog, so I thought maybe it would be nice to do the following….

For the next two weeks I will answer one question a day from you guys, this can be a technical question or a personal question, everything goes (well …..).
So whatever you want to know about me, my work etc. ask here and every day I will answer one of the questions.
