This is a Moral Question. This is an imaginary situation, but it is
interesting to decide what one would do.

The situation:

You are in the North, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many
homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and infrastructures
destroyed.

Let's say that you're a photographer out getting still photos for a
news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes. You
come across the Reverend Ian Paisley who has been swept away by the
floodwaters. He is 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.

Which lens would you use?
