Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens Sample Pictures

A girl stands behind her snow horse creation. Using an ultra-wide angle lens positioned close to the horse creates a perspective that makes the horse appear larger than it really is - in relation to the girl. The sky provides a clean background to the primary subjects.

A strong snow storm left tree trunks vertically lined with snow. A downward-angled camera position causes the essentially-straight tree trunks to angle outward in this picture. I wanted to keep the bottom and most of the sides of the frame free of intersecting lines (other than the shadows).

Even at the longest focal length this lens has available, this girl appears to have an enlarged head when framed this tightly. The effect can be interesting, but you don't want to over-use this one.

Snow, ice and fog work together to create a black and white winter scene (this is a full color photo).

To get a dog face this large in the frame at 10mm requires a very close focus distance - which results in a abnormal-sized nose. DOF does not cover this dogs entire face. I chose to keep the eyes in focus since I rarely like out of focus eyes.

A dog looks up with a hint of fear at a large snowball on a stick her young girl is holding overhead while standing in her impenetrable snow fort with a snow cat watching over things. A lot going on in this picture, but another great childhood memory captured.

A dog and girl rest on the floor - apparently after playing hard with the toy also visible in the picture. With an ultra-wide angle lens, it is easy to get above your subject. In this case, I have a clean background with only part of an upholstered ottoman entering the frame on one side.

In the foreground, sharp-focused individual white pine tree needles show heavy icing, in the second layer and in less focus is a larger portion of a white pine tree and in the background, entire out of focus trees show a hint of ice-coloring.

Trees, fallen trees and their shadows in the snow create many lines throughout this winter woods picture.

A mushroom-laden log melts out of the winter snow.

A large oak tree provides strongly contrasting lines that frame a snow-covered field.

There is not much. At 10mm with a wide open f/4 aperture and a near-minimum focus distance, even the distant background does not become strongly-blurred.

Snow takes on interesting patterns after being windswept. A camera position close to the most unique patterns, combined with a wide angle focal length lens, emphasizes the snow design.

Lichens on a log melts out from under the snow. This picture represents the approximate maximum magnification that this lens can produce.

Aim upward into trees for a new perspective on something regularly seen.

A Golden Retriever and her shadow look out across a large, snowy field. Peripheral shading is visible on the right side of this image even though a narrow f/8 aperture was used.

White Pine trees hang low under the weight of the results of an ice storm. For this picture, I lined the lower limbs along the bottom of the frame.

The white line along the top of the snow-covered log curves its way through the frame.
