I was attracted by this splendid scene while looking through my windows this evening. It must be very windy up there, can you see the difference of the clouds? They looks beautiful while being illuminated by the moon, aren't they?
I took the opportunity to experiment the white balance settings of my camera.
1. Auto - I don't really fond of this as it always gives a dull effect
2. Shade - my all time favourite as it provides a warm feeling
3. Cloudy - never used it before, but it really gave me a surprise this time
4. Incandescent- rarely use this as it tends to make everything blue
All in all, I like the illusion of the burning moon very much. Feel great to be able to snapped it down and shared with you all. Besides, I am also happy with the outcome of combining the four, and also the contrast created by the cubical building below. :)

The Challenge
It is not easy to shoot photos during night as it is too dark and hence the shutter speed is slower which could lead to handshaking and blurry images. While not having tripod with me, I grabbed whatever (chair, box, book, puncher, cellphone, etc.) in my room that could be used as replacement. It was a racing game with the clouds as they changed swiftly and sometimes I have to wait for a few minutes when the moon was covered totally. Patience is needed for photography! :)

The Misunderstanding
It seemed like my act of shooting had somehow alerted the people staying opposite. Sorry to make you worry, I wasn't trying to be a paparazzi that stalks you. I am just a gentle-king who wish to cherish this beautiful moment.
