    Photographers; A One Question Test

    ONE 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 your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.





    THE SITUATION



    You are in Miami, Florida. 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, caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless.



    You're trying to shoot career-making photos There are houses, animals and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water as you watch.





    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 and notice she looks familiar.



    You suddenly realize the woman is 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 famous 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?"

    Hahahahahahahhaa! Awesome!!!!

    Since I'd be shooting digital, I'd probably make sure it was RAW and then post process afterwards

    But if it were film, my choice would be colour.

    I'd shoot color for sure, there's always the option of making it black and white in post processing.

    Fucking great!

    Were it film in my ftb, it would probably be black and white, but in my 20d, I´d just go post-process.

    HDV so we can see every detail of her disgusting old catchers mitt of a face sink below the surface in high-def slow-mo.
