Initial knee-jerk reaction is that the picture was taken by the poster, especially if it's of a child, or a pet, or a landscape. After reading the post, I'll change to "not" if the poster doesn't specifically refer to the photo ("To the left is a great shot of Pike's Peak that we got while on vacation. The Peak was awesome...," etc.). If the photo is something ridiculous, like a studio-style close-up of a grinning guy with a green mohawk, I will automatically assume it was pulled from the web, unless, of course, the poster says "Can you believe I took this photo of my son Anton with a phone camera? I'm sending it in to the newspaper to see if they'll use it...," etc.
