Photographing the Mooonrise.

[shedra]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this...but we have a full moon coming up on Monday the 29th of March 2010.... I am wanting to go to Reelfoot lake in Tiptonville, TN and start photographing this full moon rising coming up over the water as it first appears on the horizon...Do you all have any pointers/suggestions?

I saw this happen last month (during the full moon) when eating at the restaurant across from the lake and the scene was beautiful! I wanted to go back on the next full moon and see if I could get a good shot. well, that will be happening on Monday eve. but, that was also before the time change.

What are my chances of being able to do this?...also does anyone have suggestions for this "camera illiterate" when it comes to settings other than automatic....what should I set my camera on using aperture...and the ISO, f-stop, etc.

There are not many lights around and I want to really try for this...especially as the full moon rises and that beam of light from it spreads over the water towards me.

Thanks for any help.
