From: http://unemployedtynewear.wordpress.com/2013/12/25/a-christmas-quiz/ Here’s the scenario - You’re walking along a riverbank, just above a high waterfall, you have your camera with you. Suddenly you notice a boat on the river. It appears to be in trouble, it’s engine has failed and the current is pulling it towards the falls and certain destruction. Looking closer you see that the boat is full of people you recognize – David Cameron, George Osbourne, Iain Duncan Smith, Esther McVey and several others of their motley crew. There is a rope on the riverbank – if you were to throw it to the boat and tie the other end to a tree, it would arrest their headlong rush to destruction and they’d be able to haul themselves to safety. On the other hand… you have your camera and, should you choose not to intervene, the chance of some photos which you could name your own price for – easily enough to get you off the dole and set yourself up for life. So… the big question - do you (a) use colour film, or (b) opt for dramatic black & white shots ?
remove batteries, no proof it ever happened. whistles "coming in the air tonight" while walking away swiftly..
I'd be using my digital camera, and since the video quality is poor whilst the stills are good, I'd go with quality stills. The possibiltiy of BW or colour is still there. I could see which looked best. Anyway...................... Next boat comes along, in a similar predicament, and lo and behold, the entire staff, editors and journalists of the Daily Mail are aboard. That'd be worth a second cheer as it crashed into the raging foam and rocks below.:hurray:
