Try this --no cheating
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. No
one else will know, so you wont be fooling anyone but yourself if you
give anything but a truthful answer.
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 read slowly and thoughtfully, giving due consideration to each
line.
Here's 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 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 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. You suddenly realize who it is. It's George W. Bush,
President of the United States!!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him
under... forever. 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 of the 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?

Considering that if he drowned, Dick Cheney would become President - I'd haul him out of the water.

I would choose . . .
I would choose . . .
Something fast enough to capture things without too much blurring, and enough resolution to capture the details in his face. I think, I would shoot with HP5, at f2.8, hoping for a nice fast exposure, and I have never been disappointed by the latitude of HP5. If I had the F6 with me, I'd shoot a few frames at different exposures.

About the Dick:
About the Dick:
I wasn't even thinking about that. Yeah, he would become president- and that would actually be worse, because his combination of intelligence and malevolence would certainly accelerate the badness of things. Save the bush - but after getting a few shots.
