The Way the Sunlight Looks When It Shines Through Leaves


 

I'd like to understand how this happens, but I don't know what to search for information. I just know that I love the happy effect it has on my eyes and heart - sooo beautiful!




But it doesn't happen here: the red and yellow remain their original colors when the sunlight hits them. There's also a stand of red Japanese Maples in the neighborhood, the leaves of which become bright scarlet when the sun shines on them. But all the photos I've taken show the leaves as green. While these images show what my eyes were seeing, the pictures of the maples do not, and I've wondered whether it has something to do with the digital optics of my camera. I dunno, just wondering.
