As I have said many times here in my blog and in several other online places, the full moon is my least favourite time to take moon shots. Because the sun is pointing straight at it (and thus lighting up the whole nearside of the moon) the light is very fast with no shadows and little detail. It takes a bit of work to bring out some of the detail and it doesn't always work. Having said that, it doesn't stop me from trying!
I personally think that the full moon is best when used as part of a composition, something like this shot on the previous day. The trouble then is finding a good location for some foreground interest or scenes value. I'm still looking for that.
