Getting the shot

Zoom in, step back
A long lens from far away makes the Moon huge next to a tower or a hill.
It's sunlit
The Moon is a sunny day: 1/250 s, ISO 100, f/8. Night mode overexposes it.
Line it up
Stand so your landmark sits in the Moon's direction, then wait.
Ten minutes
Just after rising it climbs fast: the best light lasts about 10 minutes.
