"Why not"?
The "why not" for me would be because I don't have the equipment to ever get it technically correct, so my interest is in the moon lower in the sky as part of an overall composition at dusk or dawn. Unfortunately, this is third straight month in Yakima with no full moon sightings due to clouds and fog!

Well, every time I look up to check the sky, I get a mouth full of water..... ;-)

I've heard people say, "At least you don't have to shovel it."

Its beautiful, I have taken several shots of it, and am still wondering what it must be like to take a shot from the other side. How many times have you taken a photo of a rose, each photo is just a rose but each one is unique.

I shoot the moon pic's because it's there.
Like others i'm just waiting to get that perfect picture with my bridge camera. I also like putting on everything I can, going out in the cold then standing around in the cold for 1/2 an hr then coming back into the warm. Yeah right. :-)

I've just gotten started taking pictures...well, as of a few months ago. So for me, it's just something else - that does not move too fast! - to practice shooting on and then touching up with Lightroom. So, all practice.
This was taken the other night with Jupiter present in the upper left.

Not only to get nice close-up of the moon, but to have available to utilize in an other picture ( my artistic mode) or I want the moon in a landscape

Each phase of the moon presents it's own challenge to the photographer. The full moon is probably the most difficult with the angle of light and it's brightness. It is very difficult to get the full moon and a detailed surface.
This last week, there was the opportunity to catch the moon and Jupiter in the same frame.
As has already been stated, no two pictures of the moon are the same. The color of the moon varies quite a bit, even on the same night.

I like to shoot the moon cause its the only place I don't get sun burnt...(is this what you meant??)
