Sigma 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG OS Lens Sample Pictures

A large jet plane leaves a high altitude set of bright white contrails (condensation trails).

A young photographer stands on top of a hill with a setting sun behind her.

A few small clouds add some detail to a still-full setting sun.

A pretty little girl plays on a stone mason's scaffolding. The background is provided by an out-of-focus distant mountain and lighting is from a cloud-diffused setting sun.

An 80mm view of a small stream flows through the rocks in the bottom of this valley.

The same tripod position as the previous 80mm picture yields a much different photo. Telephoto lenses - especially zooms - can frame an interesting shot out of an average scene.

An 8 second exposure shows the pattern followed by the bubbles floating in this stream. The motion-blurred water foreground hides the fact that the DOF is too narrow for the entire scene to be in focus.

The sun dramatically sets over the mountain behind a Y in this tree's trunk.

A little girl enjoys the feeling of being on top of the hill.

Small cloud formations pattern the sky as the sun sets.

A little girl pedals hard to go up on her training wheel-equiped bicycle.

A large rock, accented by some green moss, is mirrored in the water. A long exposure turns bubbles into white streaks.

A dark-colored rock is surrounded by flowing water. A long exposure gives the water a unique look - one that is not visible by our eye.

The excitement of being 5' off the ground on a board shows on this girl's face.

Bubbles exiting this small waterfall leave white streaks in this long exposure picture.
