December Meeting
Going to the Zoo:
Captive Wildlife Photography
Paul McKenney
For over 25 hours in the air, one way, and five figures of expense you can go on a safari in Botswana or elsewhere in Africa. By contrast there are three zoos within a two hour or so drive.
Additionally, there are multiple controlled wildlife photo opportunity within an hour drive. Even if you go to Africa, you need considerable practice before you get there. Fortunately, local opportunities are bountiful near us. As Nike says, Just Do It!

The Drone User Group will utilize two wonderful drones donated to DPI-SIG. Meetings will demonstrate how easy and fun flying a drone for recreational photography can be.
Stay tuned. More info later as the group schedules meetings.

We are going to different auction software for the auctions. Bidding will all be handled online, and you will see the current bid, so you will have a better sense of whether to bid again, or at all.
