Congratulations! Lots of beautiful chips! Especially love the Stardusts.
Canon camera?

Thx, the stardusts are my definition of a grail tourney set, and even my non-chipper-i-would-also-play-with-dice-chips-friends appreciate them for some reason.
Yes, canon eos 7D.

Empress Splash

Used in a cash set with denoms /100, so 2000 represents $20 and so on. @Gear made the awesome labels on the high denom chips.

I love Empress chips!
HS Gardena $500 relabel for the Empress 5k?
What is the 2k?

They are sweet, they remind me a lot of the Dunes $500.

Exactly! It's the poor mans Dunes

$5000s are Casino de Mexico 200'000s
$10'000 are Isle of Capri $2.50s

Enjoy them, man! Stardusts would be my next set if I were rich (I 'm not anymore, after purchasing a carload of CPC customs - and Paulsons)

There was a sinister side in my question about the camera, though. Some of your pics would have benefited from a deeper depth-of-field (ie the in-focus part of the image).
I could tell because you can say exactly the same of some of the pics in my Athenian Owl pr0n, shot by a friend using a Canon.
I suspect that the underlying factor is that, unlike Nikons, which always maintain(ed?) a certain apperture setting and adjust shutter speed for given lighting (no issue when using flash), Canons maintain(ed?) the shutter speed and adjust the apperture, which, if wider, narrows down the depth-of-field, which in turn is (unpleasantly) important at such close focusing distances.
Why didn't I use my Nikon FE 2 ? Because it only takes film
The morale of the story is that you should sell the Canon, in order to buy more Stardusts

great chips and pics! the extremely shallow depth-of-field is kinda driving me crazy, though. would much prefer to have all the chips in focus

How do I get Isle of Capri $2.50s? Those are purty

Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to improve this in future photo sessions. (y) :thumbsup:

You are right, I shot most of the pics with auto apperture. And even with flash it tends to open up to wide. I should probably go with full manual settings.

For now I'm good

I have no idea, I bought it from a guy who had only 2, the ones I have now. I've never seen them anywhere else.

eBay from time to time.

Casablanca 100s

Empress Set
​

This set is used for .25/.50 NL cash games (demons /100). Deepstack. Buy Ins from 50$ to 250$. Initial starting stacks for the minimum buy in of $50 contains two barrels 25s and two barrels 100s. Then I add cashbricks and the higher denoms for the higher buy ins. So, loads of chips on the table

I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to get this set started about a year ago. when I bought a large chunk of it. I just had to add some barrels here and there and the relabeled chips for the higher denoms.

Thanks for watching!

Just a small travel set. Perfect for long bus/trainrides or in an airplane
Thanks @Gear for helping me finishing this set!
