I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun 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 would you use?

Would saving his life, beating the crap out of him, and then permanently chaining him to a tree and feeding him cockroaches be okay with you? Drowning is letting him off a bit easy, don't you think? So, I would have to drop the camera. Seriously, though, he's a mental case rich kid. I feel sorry for him, but he's a murderer. I can't abide murderers.

I would rush over and save him from drowning, and then get that Pulitzer prize winning photo, of me blowing his head off point blank with a shotgun…That way even if I found out I had just shot the wrong man, at least I would still feel good about saving him from drowning…

I would take the photo of him hanging on to the limb, then as he try to grasp the limb I would reach out and kick the limb away snapping as many picture as I could of him gasping for air as he drowns as for the lens what does it matter as long as the bastard dies.

I wouldn't need a lens, I would be busy with an axe or saw working on the limb.

None, I will save him. A human life is worth saving under all circumstances.

I'd also use a wide angle.. Then I'd throw stones at him until he lost his grip. I'd say it would be getting off easy after what he has done.
