Julian Olivas

Born in the Philippines in 1946. Photographer, architect, and helicopter pilot based in New

York. Fusing these three passions, he is currently running ‘Global Air to Ground’, an aerial

photography business. His award-winning photographs of landscapes and people working in

extreme environments are displayed in a wide range of venues, including galleries.

Photo data: SIGMA 50-200mm F4-5.6 DC OS HSM, 1/160 second exposure at F6.3.

Julian Olivas shoots the world with a SIGMA lens.

Aiming to capture the majesty of wild horses from his helicopter, camera shake was

the last thing on his mind.

In the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, wild horses gallop across a prairie at a speed of 96 kilometers per hour in

the blazing summer sun. This stunning aerial shot was captured by Sigma’s new compact, 50-200mm

F4-5.6 DC OS HSM telephoto zoom lens for digital SLR cameras. It features Sigma’s own Optical

Stabilizer (OS) function which reduces camera shake, making steady, handheld photography a reality.

An inner focusing system and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass ensures high image quality at any

distance and the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides high contrast images

throughout the entire zoom range, while HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet and high-speed AF.

Corresponding AF mounts: Sigma, Nikon, Canon, Sony, and Pentax With bayonet-type hood (LH674-01)
