Subject: [Leica] A moral question

 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, f-stop, and shutter speed would you use?
