National eagle center photo contest has begun. Photos accepted until feb 15. http://nationaleaglecenter.org for more information.

Jerry brought up our definition of black and white due to some questionable images in this competition. He suggested no more than 5% color in a black and white image. The club discussed and decided to research how PSA & N4C does it and table the issue until then.

John mentioned the US DOT has new restrictions on rechargeable batteries when flying. Loose lithium may not be in checked baggage and only two allowed. Spare must be in original packaging or in plastic bag.

Program: Competition results. Thanks to Taylor, Peder, and Terry for judging.
