at Night on Friday September 11<sup>th<\/sup> at 7 pm.\u00a0 This is a wonderful opportunity for all levels of photographers, especially beginners.\u00a0 Your host, Steven Glintz, will be on hand for any questions or trouble you may have.<\/p>\n<p>Your field trip coordinators will also monitor for any developing situations which may impact our enjoyment and update this field trip if necessary.\u00a0 Be sure to check back the week of this event for updated information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The monuments between the World War II memorial and the Lincoln Memorial take on a whole new life after dark.\u00a0 Although the Arlington Memorial Bridge will be under repair and the Jefferson Memorial will be undergoing restoration, there are many other attractions open and available.\u00a0 The Reflecting Pool, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial, and the service men and women memorials are all down on the West side.\u00a0 The water fountains at the World War II memorial should also be operating.\u00a0 Of course, there is also the District of Columbia War Memorial (World War I).\u00a0 The FDR memorial is another option and has many interesting subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Tripods are generally accepted around the grounds provided the photographer is not blocking or hindering pedestrian traffic.\u00a0 Tripods inside the Lincoln Memorial are prohibited and park rangers will ask you not to use them (there are reports some rangers will look the other way, but that&#8217;s the exception not the norm).<\/p>\n<p>Sunset is anticipated at 7:20 p.m. and Moonset will be at 3:33 p.m.\u00a0 (no moon, sorry)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sturdy tripod<\/li>\n<li><a
