Moral dilema

[NIN_NOOL]

Here's a dilemma for you. With all your honour and dignity what would you do? This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you will have to make a decision one way or the other. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for the test to work accurately.

 

You're in Florida. In Miami, to be exact. There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing into the water. Nature is showing all its destructive power and is ripping everything away with it.

 

Suddenly you see a man in the water, he is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

 

Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!!!

 

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him away, forever. You have two options. You can save him or you can take the best photo of your life. So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the world's most powerful men.

 

And here's the question (please give an honest answer)

 

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

[nadia]

save George Bush? you must be joking!

[Faheema.]

^^^ lol, Nice one

 

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic black and white?

It has to be the classic black and white ... for the simple fact that it's going to be classic shot, yet very simple but it will have a maximum impact, not to mention a historical effect, after all he is history by the time the photo gets developed

[nafta]

^^^ :rolleyes: relaaxxx

 

Ill go with colour, cuz i wanna see every single and last bit on that bast*rds face...the lil boogies poppin from his nose, the stream of water dripping down his eyes, the foam circling from his mouth as he drowns, the....oh heck u know what i mean

[PlayMaker]

lolo; I would go with the color film.

Walahi, taking the picture would the bonus, on seeing him float away....

[NIN_NOOL]

On the one hand, without color some may doubt the authenticity of the photo. On the other hand, if you use black and white, you probably increase the likelihood of that coveted Pulitzer.

 

Hmmm, assuming that the camera doesn't already have film in it, and thus I have to load it which will take some time, I probably just use the camera to take a wack at him as he floats by.

[stpaulchick]

George W. Bush can actually float???????????

But I wouldn't care what color it's in....as long as I can see terror in his eyes...great!!
