MORAL DILEMMA
Thu Aug 14, 2008 11:24 am
This test will only take one minute and 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 slowly and give due consideration to
each line.
THE SITUATION:
You are in Queensland , Brisbane to be specific.
There is chaos all around you caused by a cyclone, 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 into 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 realize who it is...
It's Kevin Rudd!
You notice that the raging waters are about to take him
under forever.
You have two options:
1. You can save his life; or
2. You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo,
documenting the death of one of the country's most
powerful men!
THE QUESTION:
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?

I haven't got time to change film, and probably use digital so can photoshop B&W - the real question is wether to fit a wide angle lens to capture the whole dramatic situation, or stick on the zoom for a close up of the desperation on his face.

I'd be kicking myself for not bringing along the video camera to film the whole event!
