You are in NE England. There's chaos all around caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. A flood of biblical proportions. You're a photo-journo working for a major tabloid NP and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. You are trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you and disappearing into the water as nature unleashes 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. Then suddenly, you realise..........it's Gordon Brown! The raging torrents are about to take him down forever. You have 2 options: Save the life of Gordon Brown. Or, shoot a dramatic Pulitzer-prize-winning photo, documenting the loss of the Country's most powerful man!
The question:
Would you select a high contrast colour film, or would you go for the classic simplicity of black & white?
