[Leica] Any pointers on taking full moon photos?

[rcmphoto at yahoo.com (R. Clayton McKee)]

Sunny 16 applies to the moon.... it's in full sun.

For the rest of the landscape, meter normally and then stop down a stop or 
two to get that "dark" look.

Really it's much the same as standard landscape shooting except that your 
sunlight source is reflected off a REALLY big umbrella a LONG way away.

If you do long exposures (10 minutes or more) you may get some softness in 
fine details and edges since your light source is moving a little.? Probably 
you'll have to look close to see that.

Star trails are always cool, too.
