This was the first shot I took tonight. I haven't played any poker in a while, but I always have a stack of them on my desk. It's a way to keep my hands occupied while I'm busy doing nothing. Basically it's a decoration that can make a lot of noise. The lighting is awful, and maybe someday I'll work on that.
I tried shooting from a bunch of different angles. I still can't get the super-macro mode or whatever it is to come in focus all of the time, and I'm working on how steady my hand is when I take shots in low light. I am also using the timer more so that the camera doesn't move when I press the shutter trigger. I like the way the tool looks in the background, and I actually turned the light on for this. I like the way the texture around the edge of the top chip looks under the light, but you can't really make it out at the posted size. You can also see what a high roller I am at the casino; you see correctly, that is a $2.50 chip.
In fact, I liked it so much I moved it and used it again here. This is further away from the light source, so everything is muted. No vibrant colors but thanks to the shadows you can make out the depression pattern on the chip well. The ripped envelope on the desk that just happened to be there makes a nice middleground in this one.
