Here's a couple of mandolins built by Lawrence Smart of McCall.  He spends months making these instruments and they are usually ordered well ahead of construction by musicians around the world.  I love taking photos of these, but it is the most frightening shoots I do.  They seem so delicate and are very expensive.  I once tripped on a cord and almost crashed a studio light into one of his pieces.  This photo was shot against a crumbled charcoal gray backdrop, and I used Photoshop to change it to more of a dark blue.
1/250, f5.6, ISO 250.  Nikon D300 with 24mm-70mm lens.
