Tony Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Here's a toughie for you. Where do you stand morally? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down carefully and give due consideration to each line. THE SITUATION You are in New Orleans to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photo journalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster.The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury =============================================== THE TEST Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. You suddenly realise who it is. It's the President, George W. Bush. At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options - you can save the life of the President, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men. THE QUESTIONScroll down........................Here's the question, and please give an honest answer......... Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalph Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Definitely Black and White. It just catches the light right somehow in those sort of weather conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joysness Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Definitely Black and White. I've always liked nature shots in black and white.Ansel Adams is one of my favorite photographers. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I would choose high contrast colour film. I would zoom in as close as possible, and try to capture the colour of his face just before he goes down for the last time. Would he be flushed with the exertion, or would he be pallid at the thought of his doom to come? Interesting question Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimv7 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Was it before or after this..........Dooooh, just read my reply, obviously it was after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Just sent this to someone and received this reply.Thank you!I would choose the black and white option, but, if he took time to drown, I could shoot a whole film and then change it for colour!LoveJenni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rong Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 The point your all missing is his god wouldn't let him drown, as then he would have no one to talk to. Also if he's that close to god he could probably walk on water so the question is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joysness Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I think he would be blaming the Democrats and liberals while denying that it was happening. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellie2 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Oh dear :( My first thought was that I would save a drowning man. I totally got the wrong end of the stick with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
