p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Holly Leaf Miner Phytomyza ilicis


This subject is possibly a bit less exciting than most in this forum. However, there is an aesthetic appeal.

I found these tunnels in a small Holly Ilex aquifolium tree in or garden.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_leaf_miner

This was a tricky subject, as the leaves are (as is normal) very shiny and contorted, offering numerous combinations of surface reflections. I found that more than one flash made this far worse, so, unusually for me, I used single, diffused, flash on an L-bracket. I had to subdue highlights and white in processing to make these images usable.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm, f16, TTL flash, hand-held.
