What would you do????

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 slowly and give due consideration to each line.

THE SITUATION:

You are in England, York 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 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 Gordon Brown! You notice that the
raging waters are about to take him under forever. You have two options:

You can save the life of Gordon Brown or 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?

Very good :smiley:

hardy ha! :smiley:

love it ! :smiley:

:slight_smile:

Colour because you can change it to black and white after.

Ah, but those crisp edges just don’t seem as crisp on a pic that’s been altered. I’d go for B&W. As well as all that he’s hardly the most colourful personality on the planet so using colour film would just be a waste, it’d come out in black and white anyhow.

Can you still get sepia tones with a mix of hard and soft edges?

you can do whatever you like with it in photoshop afterwards :wink:

you mean id be able to take out the bit showing my foot on his head pushing him under , just to make sure !!!

hahaha, i could even photoshop someone elses head in :wink:

I’m not a strong swimmer… :slight_smile:

I would use a cricket bat, why run the risk of the flood waters receding?
