Testing “My Biatch” on Jay & Nikki’s Wedding

August 12th, 2007 · 6 Comments

As I wished in one of my entry, I really need a fast lens for my wedding coverages. It would be an advantage since most of the venue (and situations) are low-lighted. I had to shoot a wedding that’s why I bought a Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 DG better known as “The Biatch”, I still can’t afford it’s Nikon counterpart (commonly known as “The Beast”), it costs around PhP 65,000.00, it’s gonna costs me an arm & a leg just to own one. Anyways, here’s my “Biatch.”

Here are some of the shots taken using my new lens.

Depth of Field
Testing the depth of field at f2.8 no flash.

Smile

Selected Focussing
This one is to test the selective focussing.

Take this
Close up shot 70mm, f2.8.

I'm gonna kiss you

Let's dance
Their first dance as a couple.

Overall, I can give this a thumbs up, it’s sharp though it sometimes hard to focus.

    Bigyan mo naman ako ng idea kung anong matinong camera na entry level. Yung mura and digital ha? Ballpark figure lang para alam ko gaano ko katagal pagiipunan.
