Here's a moral question for you.
This is an imaginary situation, but I think you will find it beneficial to think through this exercise.
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're a freelance photographer for a news service, you're traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes that you can shoot.
You come across Osama Bin Ladeen who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under.
You have to make a choice. 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 please think carefully before you answer it:





which lens do you use

I take a picture and get him for my 25 mil's

Well, if he isnt to far away i would use a SKS.

i'd go over, and step on his knuckles and get a picture as he was floating away

which lens do you use

None of them got it.

C;mon its lots of money, after all

id prefer something with a bit more punch, say an RPG, or maybe an AT4, or just a good ole' M16 if thats all that is available

for the lens, i would get a zoom lens to get a great shot of his face as he goes under

We got it lol. Just finding other dark humor to add to it is all

Well he is known to get out of "to be bombed" arwa in time to survive

I would take a picture of him and if i have enough yime left before he falls i would save him and get even more money.
