An ongoing dispute over a seemingly benign situation has got me wondering.

If there was a photo taken of you and some fellow jumpers geared up in a dark, and totally unidentifiable location, and that photo was posted on da facebook. Would it matter?

- Is there a reliable way to attach some date/time to the photo?
- Did the other jumpers do something stupid and get caught at that time/date?

If this photo was taken in the dark and they have something to show you did it wrong. Just saying forget about ethics take up legal jumping like me.

you wouldn't be taking the picture if it was COMPLETELY unidentifiable. chances are your group arent the only ones there. PLEASE do not use your flash at the very least.

If the object/location is concealed and its just you and your buddies....who cares?

Flash photography prior to a night BASE jump is stupid.

+ about 1,000.

Also, this... and this... and this.

It might matter.

If one of the jumpers had a situation (security clearance or something) where the photo by itself could create issues, I'd certainly say it was an ethical breach, and if one of the jumpers requested that it be taken down (or not posted, since it's hard to really take something off the internet), it should be.

As a general rule, if it's questionable just ask everyone involved first.

Or maybe an even better rule is: If you're not sure, than you're sure.

but were or were you not naked in this photo? Totally changes my answer.

Identify that

The photo in question is basically the same as this one. Nothing that could ID the object at all, and none of the persons were in risk of losing security clearance or on have outstanding warrants.
And it was removed from facedick at the first request.

side note: I actually have nothing to do with THE photo, just sick of hearing the bitching and overreactions about it. Wanted to get some general feedback

Nobody got caught. In fact the jump never even happened. Was too windy and everyone went home.

Prior to climb, inside a structure.
