If you have been happily taking photographs for a while (and are really a frustrated genius behind the camera lense – who just happens to have a day job shuffling paper in an office 
). Then you are probably familiar with Flikr.com the photo sharing website.
The good thing about sharing photos with the world at large is that you get to get some feedback which you wouldn’t normally do, and get to see how people are enjoying your work.
Crucial to all that though is that you have to take good photos in the first place for it to worthwhile for anyone to visit.
Dave Allen has posted a nice article on exposure settings that can help ensure your photographs on Flickr look as good as you think the should.
Some of his key recomendations are as follows:
# Portraits
- Large aperture, fast shutter
- Keep a fast shutter speed to avoid blurring.
- A shallow depth of field will soften a busy background.
# Landscapes
- Medium/small aperture
- Use a tripod
- Assess the available light its crucial
# Fast Action Shots
- Large Aperture, Fast Shutter
- Assess how much motion blur you are willing to accept and adjust accordingly
- Guage the speed of the action and adjust shutter speed. Not all action shots are created equal eg A racing car is slower then a hummingbirds wing beats.
# Motion Blur
- Small aperture, slow shutter
- Allow for motion blur
