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 England , Cumbria to be specific.

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, 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 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 then realise who it is... It's Gordon Brown!

You notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.

You have two options:

You can save the life of Gordon Brown

Or

You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world'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?

Definitely black & white.

If taken in colour it may reveal some blood on him. Then you'll have warn people, that the image contains material that could upset them. lol

:o))

Think I'd opt for a sepia tint so you could see the muddy colour of the water ...

I realise this is meant to be funny but I must have had a sense of humour bypass today because I can not see the funny side of it.

He may not be to everyone's liking but he's a lot better than his predecessor!

Anyway, I can't swim but I certainly would attempt a rescue!

I know what you're saying Woody, but I've re-read it and I still think it's funny.

And I can't think of the last time we had a proper PM! Maybe before my time, but not in my memory!
