Are You Honest ???
Are you honest?
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 Miami , Florida 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 country's most powerful 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?

Digital! Everything else can be fixed on the computer later. With a big enough memory, you'll have dozens of shots to choose from - all without the hassle of changing film in the middle of a hurricane.

tough choice
black and white is more dramatic under those circumstances... but you can still get black and white prints from color film....
it digital was an option, I'd go that route hands down

I think I would use a wide angle lens for sure.

According to Jennifer Flowers you would have to use a wide angle lens, especially if the shot was from the rear.

Option 1.
Throw her the camera and yell as she catches it, "Have fun in Hell!"
Option 2.
Thow her the camera and yell as she catches it,
"I have no film left...sorry!"
Proceed to walk away with the knowledge that one more Brave American Soldiers' life has been saved, due to this act.
He he he.

Considering the once in a life time opportunity....
...I wouldn't want to take any chances...
...I'd use the biggest lens I had...
...to hit her in the head.
