See all the people in the northern hemisphere will be clicking with their right hands while simultaneously people in the southern hemisphere will be doing the same thing. Since they are on opposite sides of the globe the torsional effects will be balanced out. You could say that since there are a lot more people in the northern hemisphere it will still be unbalanced, however since it is spring going into summer (ie day getting longer) their shutter clicks will have more torsional effect than the people in the northern hemisphere because their day is getting shorter so they have less torsional force.
It all balances out. The only problem is that all those digital sutter clicks happening at the same time will send an electronic digital pulse out into the universe and making all alien photogs jealous because they have no access to pentax equipment.
