Moral test for photographers

Moral Test....Read to the end before making a judgment...Cheers

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.



You are in London. 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 of its destructive fury.



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 the Muslim Cleric, Abu Hamza, the one-eyed, hook handed ******* who hates non-Muslims and wants the UK to become an Islamic state!!

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

You have two options:

You can save the life of Abu or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the country's most despised, evil and powerful men!






Would you select high contrast colour film or, would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

That gag is so so old it must have been in the British Museum locked away and forgotten about

Lol very funny Fogey

I wouldn't even take a photo - people full of hate like him deserve no exposure in the media whatsoever!

It's not as old as some of Bazza's jokes though eh?

Very funny

I know I'm so not taking it as a joke, but I would shoot the photos, because by trying to save him I risk my own life... I dunno, I feel a lot of emotions about not getting directly involved. I did a module and long essay on this very subject for my degree. I found it absolutely fascinating <3

I find this question distasteful in the extreme in a forum such as this.


Most cameras these days can shoot HD video at a very fast shutter speed, suitable for TV broadcast...
