Eureka High School supports the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC), about one hundred cadet students who study navy science, learn to function as a navy unit, and go on great field trips. They twisted my arm last year to fly along for a week to Marine Air Station Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. Tough assignment. Some of the photographs are at the Eureka NJROTC web site.

| The Olympus C-8080WZ makes a fine addition to the photo-journalisticcamera kit. If the super-wide or the telephoto lens was on the E-330, I could still get a quick shot with the C-8080. At 8 megapixels and with a very sharp lens, it's no slouch of a camera. 1/250th, f/3.1, ISO100 with attached lens 28-140mm (35mm equiv) f2.4-3.5. Click Photo for Slide Show |
Today the unit did their yearly inspection. LCDR Kevin Klechner, the naval science instructor, a retired Coast Guard pilot, can call on the local Sector Humboldt Coast Guard Air Station for ranking officers to do the by-the-book inpsection of the young cadets. In this case it was done by CDR Rick Christoffersen, who was co-incidentally on a previous Lympa Log web page. He is the pilot in the close-up photograph of the CG HH-65 helicopter over Trinidad Head.
Several photos tell the story of the inspection, with cadets marching, doing drills and being checked out one-by-one. Instead of a long page of photographs, I'm going to try an Internet slide program at my "BubbleShare" account. Photographs were taken with the Olympus C-8080WZ and the E-330 using Leica 70-180APO, and Olympus lenses - 7-14mm/4.0 and 14-45mm/3.5-5.6. Just click the photo above to open the slide show. If anyone has any trouble with this new approach, please let me know.
