Tips for facebook photo success!

I'm getting quite upset with the poor quality of photographs my friends have been uploading onto facebook recently so I've written down my foolproof guide to perfect facebook photography. If you think I've missed anything out give me a shout.

• Your friends want to see a photo for every time you pressed the shutter. Make sure you upload every photo you took!
• Nightclubs make superb venues for photography with a compact camera; try to capture the mood by giving the photo a blurry feel. Remember no one wants to be identified in one of these photos so try to keep things out of focus too.
• I can't stress enough how important it is to use the inbuilt flash when taking photographs of landscape at night.
• Upload all the photos into one album and give it a name like "I finally found my camera cable!" that way everyone will know why you uploaded the photos without spoiling the surprise of trying to identify the events in question.
• Photos of feet are all the rage, make sure you have plenty of these in any album.
• When taking a photo through glass, for example at the zoo, always use the flash.
• Always try to move the camera as much as possible when you take a photo this way you'll get more in the shot.
• Use the digital zoom whenever possible.
• For better lighting make sure you shoot into the sun.
• Never hold the camera level, photos taken at 30 degrees have an arty feel to them.
• The more of the subjects face that you can fit into the shot the better, use the zoom if possible. a perfect portrait shot will have the top and edges of the subjects head cropped.
• Don't wait for the camera to auto-focus with a half press of the shutter this is just a waste of time, just jam the shutter down as hard as you can.
• Never rotate your photos once they're uploaded. Experts reckon that on average people use 20 calories just rotating their heads to view a small, 200 photo album.
• When taking a photo of a subject in the near foreground make sure the camera autofocus targets the background first, otherwise you'll not be able to make out any background detail.

And my final tip,

• Placing a few grubby fingerprints on the camera lens gives all you photos a nice soft-focus look to them. Just like some pro's use Vaseline on a lens.
