These shots were taken during bright full moon day of Raksha bandhan.
Just casual shot. After noticing the moon, I was tempted to grab some
pictures of the bright shining energitic moon. Consequently pulled my
camera, mounted the tele lens and started snapping the moon. What are
those colors then? They were taken with varying white balances ;-). That
creamed moon with vivid colors ;-). My primary intention was to learn
how white balances work. I am still amateur photographer and needs lot
of practice to strengthen my skills. This is one such practice carried
out to learn a concept. Hope you enjoyed the picture. You can
additionaly splice moons with a string to transform it to rakhi ;-).

| COLORFUL MOON SEQUENCE! |
The colors represent daylight, shadow, tungsten and
cloudy white balances correspondingly. So what is WB? It is amount of
color temperature shift required to retain white object as white in
picture :-). What is color temperature? Back to physics :-). It is the
color emitted by black body at particular temperature. If you recall
concept of black body radiation, more the temperature, higher is the
frequency emitted by the body [how? please read Neil Bohr's atomic model
;-)]. So at high temperature, the color is violet while at lower ones
its red (visible range). Similarly when you increase color temperature
of picture, the photo turns violet and red as you lower it. White
Balance is amount of shift involved in balancing the color temperature.
So lower the white balance, more bluish the color while red on other
side of temperature. Both WB and CT are measured in in Kelvin
