It might actually break a few laws, in my country at least.
The picture in itself is not the problem. It is the integration with Fazebook that is the rule-breaker.
(It does not matter if they did like cabstar mentioned, something I am unsure if they even did.
The identification of people in that way is not right.)
If they remove the integration it is perfectly fine, and not even in any gray areas..
I cannot see the picture from the link but I assume it was taken within a football stadium?Algernon wrote:

By your logic no football crowd could possibly be used for broadcast or editorial purposes???
Do you live in France?
Photography is only an invasion of privacy if you are photographed on private property and you have not given permission to have your photo taken.
Nearly all venues whether entertainment or sport will have a policy in place that makes it a condition of entry that you give consent for your image to be taken via stills or video and used for various methods stated in the policy.

An excellent idea. I replaced all the bulbs in my campervan a few years ago to led and have never had to worry about the battery going flat again due to lights being left on...

Not a public place but a football stadium, so private property and back of the ticket most likely state something along the lines of...
By entering the venue you consent to being filmed, photographed for broadcast, publication etc etc etc...
I met a guy who does this kind of photography at Glastonbury a few years ago, he had a motorised tripod linked to a laptop. He simply imputed the area to be photographed and left the camera and tripod to do the rest.
This explains it a little bit better.

I think the yo-yo pricing is more due to the unpredictable state of the global economy than any pricing strategy by pentax. I think the only pricing strategy by pentax was to prevent online retailers from discounting prices massively.

Those bug shots where very good.

I would go for a chinese grip, spare battery and a 35mm 2.4

You see, I never really get the suggestion that if one camera brand cannot offer a particular feature or quality improvement at a particular time, that this would be the sole reason for getting a camera by another maker. I mean, we're not just talking about a camera here - there are entire systems involved.
Unless an individual has (for some reason) built up or obtained a collection of system items from 2 different brands, then a jump from one to the other must surely involve completely unjustifiable expense?
When the D600 was launched at £1900 I would have agreed but the price of that thing is falling like a brick, currently around £1500. In teh new year possibly even lower and encroaching into k-5 mk iis pricing territory.You see, I never really get the suggestion that if one camera brand cannot offer a particular feature or quality improvement at a particular time, that this would be the sole reason for getting a camera by another maker.

I wasn't all that bothered about FF, I also never complained about the lack of Pentax FF but by the time Pentax bring out an FF I seriously think they will have missed the boat and if I go full frame Pentax then all my DA lenses will be useless anyhow and possibly depreciate in value pretty rapidly. So I think now is the time to consider my future brand choice very carefully.
As I see it the D600 apart from the FF, offers lower noise, twin SD slots, faster AF and a better flash system.
I love Pentax and I really wanted the k-5 mk iis to be everything and more than my current k-5 and I really do think I am going to be disappointed.

That's a little disappointing about the af upgrade.
Every time I think I want the new mk iis a review puts me off and leaves me heading towards the d600.
Will have to see when I actually get one in my hands to try....

The photo's were both shot with a 50mm f2.8 macro which is a prime lens.
I don't think I see enough advantage for the additional cost but would want to see more comparisons before spending my own money. I've been back and forth between the 2 for the past month or so
Thats a lot of detail for a 50mm to capture. I would still prefer to see a portrait shot with the mk iis...The photo's were both shot with a 50mm f2.8 macro which is a prime lens.

As it is at a Champions League game, photo passes will be issued by EUFA. The photo was taken from the press area of the stadium.
Have found this here which are the terms for the champions league final tickets but most likely will be the same for any european champions league final.
