For all the photographers on here
MORAL DILEMMA
This test will only take one minute and 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 Queensland, Brisbane to be specific.
There is chaos all around you caused by a cyclone, 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 into
apparent chasms created by the raging torrent.
Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
THE TEST:
Suddenly, you see a man 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 Kevin Rudd!
You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.
You have two options:
1. You can save his life; or
2. You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting
the death of one of the country's most powerful men!
THE QUESTION:
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...
Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

Yeah
I'd grab the digital SLR and make sure the setting was on burst and let it rip. You know grab those photos of the hand disappearing 1/200 th of a second apart
Might also grab the long lens just in case he got too far away
remember photoshop is your friendregards

I've given up with digital cameras - I can't find anywhere that sells the film

Definitely black and white. It can be processed for archival purposes.

Switch to video mode, so you can pick the best frame.

both options are wrong
this is a variant of the old chesnut -- what exposure setting should I use ?
Rule 1 keep the camera loaded -- in the digital age that means never have flat batteries and make sure you have space on the chip
Rule 2 be there and point the camera in the right direction
Rule 3 take the photo -- take the photo -- take the photoregards from Alberta, Canada

Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.
