Moral Question

My mom sent me this in an email today.

I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary
situation, but I think it is interesting to decide what one 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. Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still photos for a news service, 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 and shutter speed would you use?

Re: Moral Question

I think you missed the point of the joke...It doesn't really give you that option....

Hehehe, funny

Bin Laden comes home to his wife and asks her: "Anybody asked for me?"

damn, if there was a flood there and Middle East was going under, then we would have no gas for our cars

Of course this is hypothetical, but IF i was in that situation, i would,

first slap on my telephoto lens, so i could see the aganizing pain on his bitch *** face UP CLOSE, load up a 400speed film, just in case the water current is pretty fast, wouldn't want to blurr any arms flailing or anything. Maybe give him an out stretched arm....PSYCHE! Make sure to stay moble so i could run along side if he drifted downstream, wouldn't want to miss any of the action. Then once his breathless body has come to rest, i'd scare up some of the local wildlife for a feast and photograph that as well.....i think i may get the front page with that......

But Afghanistan is not in the Middle East, it's in Asia. also there are floods in some parts of the Middle East.
