Why arent photo's taken on my iPhone appearing in Photostream

I have installed all new software required on iPhone, iPad and iMac.


Photos I now take on my iPhone are NOT appearing anywhere other than Camera Roll


There is nothing sitting in Photostream


What am I missing?


Thanks

One thing I just found out, and apologies if it was already covered. With IOS 7 if the pictures while the phone is locked, it will appear in the camera roll when you unlock the phone, however it will not upload to the photo stream. Probably a security measure so that someone doesn't grab your phone and start snapping pictures filling up your stream.


However probably a good thing to unlock the phone before taking a long series of shots even though it is very convenient to just press the camera icon on the lock screen and just start clicking.
