See Solar Eclipse Tree Leave Pinhole Camera Affect

During a solar eclipse, tree leaves act like pinhole cameras, projecting images of the sun onto the ground. This is called the "Pinhole Camera" effect. Sunlight passes through gaps between tree leaves and the gaps in the leaves act like pinhole projectors, creating images of the sun on the ground. The images are crescent-shaped during a partial eclipse, or ring-shaped during an annular eclipse.
