| there's a new (not featured on the website) photo of Kawai
| Grand Piano that looks like a corridor on a space station.
| Absolutely amazing.

| Wow this is a stunning look in a different way, I can only

| Also totally agree on the expertise in the lighting. Makes them
| vibrant and feel lively like caught in a break in the action.
| Would love to see if he could do time lapse too that'd be neat
| too. What an artist.

| Does anyone know how he managed to keep such a large distance in

| detaro wrote:
| Yes, "Focus stacking" is the technical term. From the
| photographers website: _" When we see closeup macro shots like
| this we expect them to have a narrow depth of field. By combing
| hundreds of shots with varying focus I make sure that the
| entire instrument is sharp from from to back."_

| The picture of the internals of a didgeridoo is out of this

| ehnto wrote:
| An unplayed didgeridoo would also be pretty fascinating, as
| they tend to fill with spiderwebs.

| Very pretty, those macro images inside music instruments. Would
| be fun to see 'internal' videos while those instruments are being
| used.

| Now I dream of living inside a violin.
| JasonFruit wrote:
| That violin looks like someone's empty attic. I can almost smell
| it.
| ehnto wrote:
| They can honestly smell pretty similar, wood and dust.
| JasonFruit wrote:
| I've been inside violins a time or two, and removed a sizable
| mouse nest from an old French fiddle with a chewed F-hole.

| For me, the most impressive part of these pictures is the use of
| lighting. The play of lights and shadows reproduces the volumes
| in such a way that one feels immersed, embedded in a vast chamber
| that is in reality only a few centimeters wide. The cello example
| is exceptional in that regard.
|
| Edit: it's a cello [1]
