    I don't mind them so much on here, because the photos are mostly for our personal reference, but I hate when people use them as profile pics on dating sites. (I run a dating advice forum and people post profiles for review... I'm not trolling the sites.) On a dating site, your profile pic is your one chance to create a great first impression, so why use a photo that says, "I have no friends who will take my picture for me?" :laugh:

    Any tips for the masses on how you mount a cell phone on a tripod or stand it on edge?

    THAT makes sense! I did the online dating thing and mentally discounted anyone who didn't have at least a photo or two where they weren't the one taking the shot.

    I second that! That's straight art, right there.

    I do both, but yeah, you can't see exactly what the picture looks like before you take it when you use a timer. I usually end up with an ugly face, or a weird fat roll or something.

    I'm clueless. This got me curious, looked on my phone and if the camera has a timer, I can't find it. I have a Iphone 3G - any help?

    You need to download an app for that.

    Please flush the toiliet before taking the pic.

    What!?! No! Has someone done a pic with a full bowl in it!?! Ack!

    Yep, and even worse:

    No one has friends to take pictures for them? That would solve the focus/appearance in the pictures. I can understand the before pics not being something you want a friend to take, but what about a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse?

    I don't post pics from a privacy standpoint, no one needs to know who I really am but me.
