How To Get Really, Really Good Photos

Many people (okay, one person) have asked me how I get my really, really good photos on my blog. So today I am going to share with you secrets to really, really good photos.
It all starts with the right camera settings.


All SLRs and most compact cameras come with these mode.
 Hello? Earth to photographer?
All you have to do is use them.
So what are you waiting for? 
Turn this...


Into this...

(Obviously I have way too much time on my hands)
Thanks for paying attention.

Is that Blue Steel? Or is that Magnum? I will never learn the difference. Which one calls for more pursing of the lips?

My camera doesn't have the Zoolander setting.

It does, however, have the Naomi Campbell setting, but that just means it continuously hurls itself at the housekeeper!
