moral question...must read

[DLeach]

I have a moral question for you.



This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun to decide which one

you would do.



The situation:



You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many

homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures

destroyed. You are a photographer getting still photos for the CNN news

service and are traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant

scenes.



You come across Osama Bin Laden who has been swept away by the

floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go

under. You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a

Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the

limb. So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the

question below:





























Which lens would you use?

 

[RATTLINRAM]

What morals?

I think one of those "BIG" long telephoto lenses would make an exellent club!

Who cares about the picture!

 

[paccool]

Tell him to "wave" for the camera and that it will make a better picture if he uses both hands.

DLeach,



You weren't by chance reading Nicholas Evans' new book The Smoke Jumper were you? Good read by the way.

 

[Max340]

A 28-300 telephoto, the better catch not only the overall scene, but the intense white knuckle grip.



And be sure to set depth of field properly... . dont want the auto focus thinking the flood is the object.

The one with the 7mm mag below it.

 

[Alaskaskiff]

You wouldn't be referrring to the 7mag holding the nosler ballistic tip bullets now would you?

 

[chuck3]

Yes

Dang fast shudder speed on that one.
