One question test...THIS COULD BE DIFFICULT, BUT GO FOR IT....

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 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....



===============================================



THE TEST:



Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow they look familiar. You suddenly realize who they are.



It's Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi!!



At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take them under forever. You have two options: You can save their lives or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world's most powerful people.



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?

I'll refer the question over to David Bailey (this can only come from across the water!)

Tough one...I think it would depend on time of day, my angle, brightness, color of the water, etc.

Still, I'd probably go black and white.

I'd have to be really careful not to get my feet in shot as I push them under.

But I'd go with the black and white.

Skoob.

Gezumped once more, VC is just a rapid gun toting artist!

My wife wants me to shoot the rabbits that she says are eating her flowers.

If I use a pellet gun it will just scare them off.

Can't bring out the heavy artillery in the city.

What should I do?

I guessed wrong, I imagined you had a country mansion in Tunbridge Wells (used to live there myself, council ouse mate!).

Rabbits poison the bastards!

How do you poison rabbits?

My wife was told by her hairdresser to put shavings of Irish Spring soap around the flowers to repel them .

I'd imagine it might attract comely Irish lasses instead.

Rabbits huh? Pain in the ass for ya?

Well, depends on the rabbit. If it's a unique rabbit and you want to catch it, unique up on it. If it's a tame rabbit, tame way, unique up on it.

Hope that helps!

I'll twy it.

could i choose both?
one hand to save them and take photos with the other.
or you can search best answer from http://www.google.com
aha~~

I would like a little longer and get the oil paints out.

VC, obviously your CC (carrot consumption) has increased beyond the RDA or you're a mega fan of BB (not the French vegan and stray dog collector)

Buck: definitely a defining moment in history...should be shot in black and white to get the starkness and the reality thing....very important to get the correct F Stop and really a question if you want to blur the backround and focus on the silent screams, or blur the foreground and focus on the sunrise in the backround foretelling the dawn of a new day and hope for the masses....

I suppose it depends on your point of view and your political bent...best scenario is that you're there as Joe Biden jumps in to save them and forgets he can't swim either.......makes you wish Life Magazine was still around to capture the moment.....thrashing around in desperation grasping for The Answer...

But wait....just in time, here comes the newly appointed Life Guard Czar who has declared the Ethics Committee Unethical and says money kept in a freeezer is just "cold cash"......and hey, don't bother bout those taxes bro.....
