I don't think it can "happen" to someone and not the person next to them, i.e. I don't think each individual observer sees it differently. I have seen what the article calls a harverst moon a few times. Every time everyone I asked from the same city has also seen it. I've seen it on the news, captured by photo and video cameras, so I'm pretty confident it's as optical as using lenses to zoom into things.

You can take a suggestive picture of it, if that's your intention, but in fact if you took a couple pictures with a digital camera, few hours apart, you'd note that the Moon has the exact same pixel width in the pictures, regardless of it position in relation to the horizon. Moreover, the near-horizon pictures would actually show a lower pixel height, due to the atmospheric distortion.
