What Sigma can do

You probably have noticed my now (and if not I shall tell you) that Sigma 105 is the most used lens by me. If I have to pick only one to take with me for a walk - most of the times it would be Sigma.

It is a prime lens (no zoom), it is a heavy bazooka, but it does magic not only in macro photography, but look at that bokeh!
And I am sure I still do not use it to it's full potential.





After some heavy rains I found large puddles of water in one of the places I usually go shoot.
Now if you take the right angle with the sun, you will get all the water glistening and reflecting light. Time to get the Sigma monster and just shoot them bokeh bubbles :)

You can see the little blue Flax flower almost disappearing with the super busy background. It doesn't always work with small, delicate objects. But the fist photo with a dandelion turned out quite nice.





Dry weeds?
Awesome :D I can shoot those too.





The difference between these two images 👆👇 are only camera setting. I switched from F5.6 to F4 and you can already see the difference.
But because I was further away from the object the bokeh turned to be smaller.





Time to get closer. Now the difference between me and the object is smaller than between object and the background = nice, big bubbles.





Now go catch them all!
