Moral Dilemma

[PeterH]

How Moral Are You??

A MORAL DECISION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER - This test originated from a Catholic priest.

This test has only 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 and completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision.

Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be completely honest.

THE SITUATION:
You are in Palm Beach with chaos all around you caused by a hurricane.

There is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist 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 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 this man looks like...WOW --- it's Donald Trump. At the same time you realise the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
You can save the life of Donald Trump, OR you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer-Prize-winning photo, documenting the last minute of one of the world's most powerful men.

YOUR DECISION:
OK. Here's the question, and please give an honest answer:

WOULD YOU:

( A) select high contrast colour film, or
( B) go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Put my foot on his to ensure "depth" of field is sufficient to get him all in :-)

[Chris Sawyer]

Definitely colour film (for the hair and facial features) followed by a bleach bypass (injected) in Photoshop.

Sometimes you need to sit back and just look enjoy the beauty of your surroundings or what is happening in front of you. Far too many people need to rerun their lives looking at photos, even though they were there.

I would go B&W but just of the wig floating on the water...

Interesting dilemma!  I like your response Alan.  

[Ian Stedman]

Would I have time to fit a polarising filter?

Great joke Peter.
