This month we're going to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

Every month a cadre of photo enthusiasts and instructors choose a location in Denver for an evening of night photography. This month we have picked a location that is a little out of the way.

We're all very excited about this month's outing. We will have a Full Moon lighting the red rocks of Colorado Springs. There will be lots of texture and landscapes to photograph.

FAQs:

Can I bring a friend?
Yes, the more the merrier.

Do I need a special camera? ie. DSLR?
No. Many have brought point-n-shoot cameras and have had great success.

Do I need a tripod?
Although a tripod is recommended for sharp images during a long exposure, you can get some neat results by blurring your photos (on purpose).

What if I have never shot at night before?
