This was another photo taken with ISO400 due to low, fast fading light so I definitely had noise/grain in my mind.

Is this the group that uses a photo from let's say, Anet, to assist with reporting with news, route updates and changes etc?
If so, doesn't he credit the photographer and also leaves the photo with watermark and copyright bar intact?
I could be thinking of a different group.
