Mineral Moon

Another attempt at pulling out the mineral deposit colors on the Moon's surface. If you get a decent enough image, you can tease out its colors by using saturation layers in Photoshop.

 

The blue areas are rich with ilmenite, containing iron, titanium, and oxygen. Orange and purple-ish areas contain smaller amounts of titanium and iron. Whiter areas are overexposed, sunlit areas.

 

Nikon D750, Sigma 150-500mm lens.
