Looks like the moon will be in full view (new moon?) this weekend. Looking for good spots away from the city lights to take some photos during the night. Was thinking about Joshua Tree.. any other locations?

Actually it's a full moon. the new moon (when the moon isn't lit at all) isn't until the 29th of this month.

I'd drive to a good location, but unfortunately I can't drive. :P Canon 7D | Canon 100mm f/2.8 | Canon 40mm f/2.8 | Mamiya RB67 | Mamiya Sekor 90mm f/3.8 | http://www.flickr.com/mosbeckphotography

Well decided to go to Joshua Tree for first night shoot. Fullmoon was blasting the high desert, bad for star shots, but the park was well lit. Moonlight is so white and pure.. wish I had the luxury of shooting with it all the time
