Indeed! I usually just get a glowing white disk if I try to shoot a picture of the moon.
...

To get details, I'll treat the Full Moon as any object in full sunlight. At ISO 100, I'll use a shutter speed of 1/500 at f/5.6 (which is like 1/125 at f/11). Maybe use even a faster speed.

Most of my Moon shots are with an old pre-AI 300mm f/4.5 Nikkor, but I have prints only and can't post them here.

But anyone can achieve a nicely exposed detailed photo of the Moon with a good camera and lens. :D :D How about your cellphone camera? There's a challenge. Had to go into manual mode for this one, ISO 50, 1/250, f/2 (fixed). It's highly cropped as the original image on the screen was microscopic:
