Sigma Imaging UK | What's New

A view outside, just a moment ago.

We went for a walk on the beach and saw this couple playing with five (!) dogs. Couldn't resist taking a picture.

Yesterday I took some shots of smoking candles for the weekly challenge (smoke/steam). I have already submitted a picture to the challenge, but going through the photos again I realised that this one had a good potential. There was some furniture in the background visible (I don't have big black...

Yesterday I was taking pictures with my D7100 and Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 attached. A few times (perhaps four out of a hundred shots) a strange error (?) message appeared on the top control panel. The bigger letters in the top middle of the panel said "Good" (and this was flashing), while in the...

I think I'm going to like this forum. Post-processing can make a dramatic change to a picture. Let us demonstrate it! Post your unprocessed picture (either a jpeg straight from the camera, or a RAW conversion using the standard profile and no corrections). Here is an example. First, the...

A different look at my Christmas tree.

YouGov is an internet market research company. They do opinion polls in the UK and gather lots of data. They offer a searchable web page where you can find a profile of various brand owners. Here it is what they think of Nikon owners. :)

The question might sound weird, but it happens to me from time to time with my D7100. Initially, I had no idea what was going on. I had camera in aperture-priority mode, I aimed and tried to change aperture by turning the command dial and... nothing would happen. I looked at the camera, tried...

D7100 + Sigma 50-150 f/2.8

Recently, I was taking pictures of a small group of people. In addition to this, I took two portraits of the new group members. I shot them against a greyish wall, using two umbrellas with YN565 speedlights. The only thing I did in post-processing was to darken the edges of the frame. Is there...

I was asked to take a group photo at our work for their website. I selected a few spots in our building which looked promising. However, I was not impressed by the results. It shows that I still have a lot to learn! I'd appreciate your feedback: how can I improve these photos? 1. This was taken...

From imgur.

I'm thinking about getting a good quality (probably B+W) ND filter. I don't intend to use it too often, and they are rather expensive, so I want to buy only one. A 6-stop filter will slow the shutter speed by a factor 64. This is probably good for waterfalls and flowing water, where exposures of...

Some beautiful photos from Bored Panda.

I was considering buying this lens but cannot find it anywhere. Amazon UK says "discontinued". Most online shops don't have it. The only place I can find it is either eBay, or one of the grey import shops. It is a bit strange, as this lens is still listed on Sigma UK web site. And the lens was...

This photo took quite an effort to take. And here is the story behind it. And yes, it's a Nikon!

A few snapshots from my holiday

As I sit in a rented holiday cottage overlooking Loch Torridon (Scotland) I watch the ever-changing weather patterns, clouds, rain and light. A few minutes ago I spotted a chance for an interesting photo with an unusual composition. Most of it is just an empty white sky with misty hills at the...
