Subject: Morality question

One (1) Question Test

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 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.
===============================================
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 women (in her mind, at least).
===============================================
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?

[Hipshot]

Oh, this is too good! Having come from a photo-finishing family, I'd probably shoot both color and B&W. Save Hillary - you gotta be kidding!

[x SF med]

I think an Ilford 50 ISO high contrast B/W would show all of the fear in her lined screaming face - that's my choice - set for a really good depth of field too, to catch the waves breaking down her throat.

[Dub]

Lets break out the Hi-Def gear for this one

[Sionnach]

That's great!

[CPTAUSRET]

I think you call Ted Kennedy; let him save her...He HAS had experience with a drowning female!

Then you get two pic's!!

[Gypsy]

Oh, definitely the black and white film. Very dramatic results.

[Roguish Lawyer]

No martyrs -- no photo.

[echoes]

I would save her. Maybe she would be a changed woman after the near-death experience, and could be re-indoctrinated by reading all the threads on PS.com???

Hmm.

No.

[chance]

Wife said to go with a 400 speed to get the pure panic look on her face, picture quality will be grainy but you will get a really nice action shot. Then throw her a brick to save her.

Well, ya'll know I think she is a troll & and a half with no brain, no talent, and no purpose running for CIC...but when it comes to water safety...it is instinct...I would save her.

Black and white would really capture the moment.

Only if his car is involved. And he's drunk.

It's Teddy - That guy's permanently sauced. Last time he was sober he was still in the womb. In the second trimester.
