THE SITUATION:
You are in Richmond Virginia , on the James River 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
photojournalist 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 under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
===============================================
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to
be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow they look familiar. You suddenly realize
who they are. It's Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! At the same time you notice that the raging
waters are about to take them under forever. You have two options: You can save their lives or you
can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world's most
powerful people.
===============================================
THE QUESTION:
Here's the question, and please give an honest answer...
Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic
simplicity of black and white?
I think black and white makes more of a statement

Hog KillerI would not WASTE any film, and find somthing bettrer to take a pic of.

I would use a 200 colour film with a UV filter on a 135mm lens with the f-stop set for a good depth of field and expect to crop the resulting print.
They already in black and white and colored!
