Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Lens Sample Pictures

Mikayla takes in the good life while floating down a river. A tall bank and trees behind me in combination with a bright after-the-sun-set sky created the lighting for this shot. A very low percentage of my f/1.4 and f/1.6 shots from this night were salvageable due to the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX HSM Lens' AF inconsistencies.

I saw a beautiful sunset, the kids saw a heart in the sky.

Flying - or catching flies - I'm not sure which. With an f/1.4 aperture, action is easy to stop even after the sun has set as in this picture. Want to catch a different perspective and a happy expression? Put the kids on a trampoline.

The sun shines through the clouds to light the foreground and a distant farm in the background.

A dramatic sunset provides the background for a 100th year corporate anniversary sign.

Brittany loves wildlife. This just-hatched Monarch Butterfly clinging to her finger is the result of her many trips to the Milk Weed patch (it's what the caterpillars eat). Lighting is from large windows and a skylight.

Several girls emerge from the woods with their found treasures in hand. Obviously a 1/4000 shutter speed was not necessary to stop this action, but this speed allowed a wider, background-blurring aperture to be used.

A little girl floats down the river. A tree-shaded shoreline creates a dark-to-light gradation in the picture.

A little girl stands on a large pile of 2B stone.

A well-shaded person relaxes alone on the beach.

She's flying. As I've said before, trampolines are great for getting unique shots of the kids.
