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. 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 fury. Suddenly you see a man floundering 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. Gosh! You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to pull him under. You have two options : you can save the life of G.W. Bush or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one ofthe world's most powerful men. So 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 ??????? |

Yep, black and white is far more dramatic!

high contrast - more to work with in the future.

Digital, then you can create B&W later if you so wish.

hopefully would have a high end digi camera, with laptop. Get the picture the way I want it then send it straight away to the editor.

I'd throw him some rope first - it would make for an even more dramatic shot if there was false hope on his face...
... why 'false hope'? Well, I never said I'd attach the other end of the rope to anything now did I. ![]() Oh yeah - and digital for me too. ![]() Last edited by K; 05-05-07 at 08:23 AM. Reason: . |
