    Film Selection advice

    This is a really hard one!


    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
    the water.

    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?

    First saw that one after Hurricane Katrina, but GW was the starring person.

    It is an oldie which is modified to suit the disaster/cretin of the time.

    The current answer is Sandisk & CS4:-)

    Cheers, Steve

    shooting Kevin

    My guess is that the light is not especially good, in which case I would recommend an ISO 400 black and white film that allows both a fast shutter speed, to capture Kevin's frantic waving before he goes under, and a middling aperture for best resolution and good depth of field. I am sure Kevin would endorse the technical correctness of this choice, if not, perhaps, the moral correctness.
