Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Yes your support mentioned that but the trick to that would have to get 2 check-ins to the facebook page because I could use that. I need to test it out and see how it works. I know its no your fault, its Google making things a pain.

Schema is always a good idea for everything. Far as I can tell.

I have to disagree a bit regarding the risks. In general, the main problem is dilution - you're spreading the authority across more pages (as David said). Unfortunately, though, there are worse possibilities - including filtering (Google won't let certain pages rank, or lets the wrong page rank) and even Panda-scale penalties that could impact the broader site. The risks of duplicate content are a lot higher than they were even 3-4 years ago. It depends a lot on scope, and there's always a trade-off. If you use rel=canonical or NOINDEX the photo pages, then they won't be eligible for ranking. On the other hand, if you spin out hundreds of photo pages, it could negatively impact your overall ranking ability, even for other pages. If you're talking about a few photo pages here and there, I wouldn't worry about it. If your site has a 500-page index, and 400 of those are photo gallery pages (or something equally extreme), then I'd definitely be proactive. In most cases, I think using rel=canonical from the individual photos back up to the gallery is a solid solution, but it does depend a bit on the site.
