Thanks for the tips!!

You reminded me, perhaps one of these days I should do a post sharing these tips, including those you’ve shared

Hello hello!!

Di comment section ada yang share ttg ‘how to’ take ‘better’ photos the ‘extended arm self portrait’ way. dan mmg, kalo lens cameranya ga wide, sejauh2nya tgn kita udah di julurin ke depan dan kamera di adepin ke kita, ‘muka’ kita akan dominate the frame

Experiment2 lagi deh .. dan baca juga komen/tips dari yang lainnya … hopefully helps!

to increase “success ratio” in taking good picture with this technique are :

1. Camera need to have FD – Face detection feature.. this help a lot when you do this extended arm pictures… because in many case, your face wont be in the middle of the frame / viewfinder. Most camera design to have default Auto Focus (AF) in the middle of frame… so if your face position isn’t at the picture and your camera don’t have FD feature, then the photo will goes out of focus / missed focus.

2. Wide lens.. if your pocket camera has 28mm (36 mm film equiv) wide.. then the picture will be much better.. I have pocket camera that has 38mm not so wide angle.. and extended hand self potrait will take only my face with less or almost no space left for background.

3. It’s recommended… if your camera has IS (Image Stabiizer) feature.. help reduce a lot of vibration when you take picture… better and more sharp photo…..

I hope this tips will help you guys in taking better picture with “extended arm self potrait”.. ^_^ *Good luck !!*

Foto lu dng extended arm kok bisa keren2 ya? Gua waktu itu pernah nyoba tapi hasilnya sll aneh krn kayaknya 1 foto isinya muka gua doang & muka gua kalau di foto close up gitu kan kelihatan banget jeleknya..he..he..Makanya kalau lht org2 suka foto dng cara gitu malah gua yg bingung, kok mau ya? Knp ngga minta tlg org aja fotoin? Krn gua pikir backgroundnya tdk akan bisa kelihatan, tp kok foto2 lu bisa ya?

Anyway, next time gua mau coba lagi deh

hehe … upload them to the group’s gallery when you’ve found your login and password ya!

Sis, hope what wilson shared helped a bit ya, in terms of taking self portrait using our pocket cameras.

Anyway, with this self portrait style, I think it’s common to take a few shots before we get the frame we’d like My face sometimes is ‘out of the frame’ too at times hehe …
