looks fake - but could easily be real -- just shot on a super-zoom lens.
I remember a beach party scene in beverly hills 90210 that looks just like that. In that case i think it was comp'd in.

There was a Harvest moon in late September. Its usually in October, but this one was early and appeared bigger and redder than usual, so it could be that.
- yeah, it was a full moon too.

wikipedia ... Often, the harvest moon seems to be bigger or brighter or more colorful than other full moons. The warm color of the moon shortly after it rises is caused by light from the moon passing through a greater amount of atmospheric particles than when the moon is overhead. The atmosphere scatters the bluish component of moonlight (which is really reflected white light from the sun), but allows the reddish component of the light to travel a straighter path to one's eyes. Hence all celestial bodies look reddish when they are low in the sky.
The apparent larger size is because the brain perceives a low-hanging moon to be larger than one that's high in the sky. This is known as a moon illusion and it can be seen with any full moon.
