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 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 are 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

You have two options:

You can save his life, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country’s most
powerful men!

THE QUESTION:

Here is 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?

LOL, I’ve switched to Digital…. but I would have taken slide, better for high gloss magazine features….

Yes I have gone digital as well but I would change it to B&W before printing.

Black and white, because if you see it in black and white it must be true.

Neither. In no way do I wish to assist in any way Rudds attraction to fame by media. Might reach out & push him under though. So long as nobody was watching.:-)))))

I would have to decide weather to take my foot off his head or not

I’d throw him a life brick!

There you go sarj. A nice list of choices. Which one do you prefer??

do people not like him, his policies or both?

just interested

i think black and white photography is wanky, but murky water looks great desaturated or in a light sepia

You’ve just not seen the right kind of B & W photography Soulman!

I’d go with colour incase there was some blood, just to add to the drama!

Mono photography done right is great, especially with a portrait like the one we are discussing here….

What policy? And i’m not being facetious but the man talks of short term politics and playing the public relations game and then delivers nothing but the same empty platitudes he accuses the liberals of engaging in.

Plus he looks like Mr Sheen.

Plus he looks like Mr Sheen.

PMSL @ Mr. Sheen… he does!! lmao

Political Correctness is doctrine fostered by a delusional minority and by the media, which holds forth the proposition it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

'If you can read this, thank a teacher, and since it's in English,

I’d take my time to set up my tripod and ask him to hold still whilst I take a long-exposure misty water shot.

Film? Shoot it in colour digital and change it later to B&W if needed in Lightroom. :)
