Are you honest? - The Firearms Forum

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 Florida , Miami 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 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 of its destructive furor.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the woman looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You have two options:

You can save the life of Hillary Clinton or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful and brilliant women.

THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...

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

Black and white. Facial expressions are much more vivid, and you get greater detail.

I agree with red on the Black and white.

It has that quality of bringing out emotions to the utmost !!!!!

I have to agree with Red here. If on the otherhand she were struck with a piece of debris before going under, opening several large gashes on the face, neck and shoulder area you then may look into the color or at the very least a colored filter.

Idk what your talking about first black and white to make sure you get all the detail then color to show the brilliance of the moment. =]

I would go with black & White and also switch to my wide angle lens so I could get all of her fat rump in the picture.

Even in death, that's NOT what I want a picture of!
