supermoon.

A "supermoon" looks bigger and brighter than a normal full moon. An excerpt from the Huffington Post about it. They can define it a million times better than I can.
"Also known as a perigee moon, the event occurs when a full moon lines up with the Earth and the sun at a specific point in its orbit, called the lunar perigee. That's the point at which the moon is nearest to Earth as it traces its elliptical path around our planet.
Since it's closer to us, the moon appears up to 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than usual. Coined by astrologer Richard Nolle, the term "supermoon"essentially means a bigger and brighter full moon."
The first pic was taken with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3).

And this picture was taken with my camera (Fuji) 

And yet another shot taken with my camera. Just about an hour later.
