It was the last Lunar eclipse of the year and I tried to capture it successfully. As soon as it starts entering the umbral region, a dark shadow starts overlapping the moon and making it look like a "Bitten Biscuit." As the Umbral eclipse starts, the bands slowly turn orangish red and the shadow starts overtaking the brightness the Moon until it gets fully covered. The eclipse has no such effect on human beings as the rumours and superstitions roam around. The events of nature are meant to be enjoyed together.
