Nikon D810
Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art

Panorama: Oneida Lake (Nikon D810, 14 frames)

This 14-frame panorama shot away from and into the sun shows how well the Sigma 24-35mm f/2 DG HSM Art handles difficult lighting conditions and flare.

The full panorama is 21296 X 7504 = 160 megapixels. The main limiting factors are (a) lens performance and (b) depth of field (since it was shot at f/8): the foreground is slightly soft.

Below, an up to 60 megapixel image is available for viewing.

Best enjoyed on a late 2015 iMac 5K or better.

Diglloyd DAP is DSLR-oriented, but also contains workflow and other topics. Much of the focus is on Canon and Nikon but also Pentax and Pentax medium format.

Special emphasis is placed on lens evaluation, focusing on Canon and Nikon and Sigma lenses, but with a few others like Rokinon/Samyang.

  • Make better images by learning how to get the best results right away.
  • Save money by choosing the right lens for your needs the first time, particularly some of the new Sigma Art lenses vs Nikon and Canon.
  • Workflow discusses image organization, raw conversion and post processing. Many examples show processing parameters for direct insight into how the image was converted.
  • Jaw-dropping image quality found nowhere else utilizing Retina-grade images up to full camera resolution, plus large crops [past 2 years or so].
  • Real world examples with insights found nowhere else. Make sharper images just by understanding lens behavior you won’t read about elsewhere.
  • Aperture series from wide open through stopped down, showing the full range of lens performance and bokeh.
  • Optical quality analysis of field curvature, focus shift, sharpness, flare, distortion, and performance in the field.
