About four months have passed since I made a few RAW files available for download. Since then my skills with the SD1, the firmware and Sigma Photo Pro have improved. Therefore I thought it was time to provide some new RAW files for you to play with.
Read MoreIraq Through My Eye
Photographer; Michael Taylor
Location; Iraq
Camera; Sigma SD9
In the fall of 2004 I purchased my first Sigma Camera system while I was deployed to Iraq in the City of Tikrit. The images above are a cross section of the thousands of images I captured with my SD9 with its incredible Foveon sensor and those first lenses from October 2004 to February 2005.
Read MoreThe Sigma SD1 Happened
Let me start off with the conclusion: at its best, the Sigma SD1 is most surprising in the details it uncovers. When you shoot with the SD1 you have no idea where the images will take you. There is no…

Location; Grünstadt, Germany
Camera; Sigma SD14
During a lovely sunset I shot some tulips on my balcony. And I thought, while I’m busy collecting material for new posts on X3 magazine I could just as well share this one already with you. All shots were done with the original 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 which has a great macro mode.
