Treat the moon like a moving light source
Moon phase controls intensity while its position controls direction. Side light reveals texture. Front light brings color into the landscape. Backlight can turn ridgelines and clouds into strong shapes.
Expose for detail without making it look like day
Use the histogram to protect bright moonlit surfaces and let deep shadows remain deep. A stable tripod makes it possible to use a lower ISO and longer shutter speed when wind and subject movement allow.
Keep color believable in the edit
Moonlight is reflected sunlight, but our experience of night often feels cooler. Set white balance to support the scene rather than chasing a neutral target. Use local adjustments to guide the eye and preserve enough darkness for the photograph to remain nocturnal.
Technique becomes useful when it responds to the scene. The goal is a decision process you can carry into changing conditions.
