February 28th, 2010 Saltwater Aquarium, details to come! CLick for Gallery
Carlye's Saltwater Aquarium, this is done with Tamron 180mm Macro lens allowing you to do 1:1 magnification which is the standard in the definition of a Macro Lens. To go even bigger, I used a Kenko Extension tube increasing the distance between the lens and the sensor allowing me to decrease my distance to shoot. I could thereby focus at a closer distance and achieving greater than 1:1 magnification. The problem with this technique is that light becomes a significant problem slowing down the lens by at least 2 F Stops.

January 29th, 2010 Dwain Travis Ballet Photoshoot
Dwain is a ballet dancer who started when he was 9 and hasn't stopped since. He gave me this wonderful oppurtunity to shoot his passion of dance and we focused on the effects of lighting and shadows. We then created dramatic lighting to highlight the specific features of the human body in a unque way that I have not seen too many people try yet. The many spotlights allow you to focus on parts of a whole before putting the rest of the body together in your imagination. |
December 26th, 2009 Nature has its battles
Galveston Island. Had some crackers and threw them up in the air, two birds decided to go at it and I caught it with my 24-70mm F2.8. The cloudy weather helped diffuse the light perfectly. Used Sport Automatic setting and captured on multiple bursts. |

November 7th, 2009 Art Gallery Opening Night: Blossom Street Gallery. Article published at The Red Pub Magazine, article is linked by clicking the following picture. An exerpt is copied here: "Photographer Sam Li, whose works focus on far-away travel destinations to places people dream of visiting, was the favorite for Mike Romero a collector from Clear Lake. “Sam’s work is astonishing. He shoots places that you may have seen while on vacation, but he captures them in such a way that makes you want to go back as often as you can, and maybe even live there. I am definitely a fan.” Mr. Romero proved his appreciation for Li’s work by purchasing three pieces, including, Coliseum Lights, Hapsburg Castle, and Angelic Embrace."
