All In!


A little game of poker anyone?


With a hand like this you had better go all in!


I am not a gambling man but, you can bet it fun taking these pictures!

Great shots David! You really should do istock these would be great! As far as a zoom lens...how big? I have purchased most of my lenses from Pictureline because they keep them on hand most of the time...they had my 300mm 2.8 there. They also rent the 70-200mm f/2.8 (I rented it for almost a year @ $20/day until I could afford to purchase it) and you can rent a 2x extender for it too (I think) Hope this helps :)

Looks like Foote has a nice hand...sorry I couldn't resist. Perfect focus!

Interesting lighting - the background is pure white. Did you do anything special? I also like the range of colors with the cards and chips.

I'm not a gambling man either. I'd rather spend my $$ on photographic equipment and motorcycles.

Rebecca - foote...hand...Thanks for the laugh too!

Woody - I used white foam core board, one on the table and one as a backdrop. I have small lighting kit from westcott that I use as a ligthing source. Great fun.

Melissa - I have the 70-200mm and the 2X extender. A 200-400mm whould be nice! I'll put it on my wish list.

I like this visual and depth of field. I ended my poker career long ago by betting a lot when I was dealt a full house and lost to a 3 card draw straight flush.
