How should a person take a selfie when traveling?

Self-portrait doesn't just mean taking photos of yourself, such as expanding the definition of self-portrait with friends, lovers and more people, and taking photos together ~

I posted some photos in my circle of friends the other day, and some friends asked me how I did it. By the way, I just wanted to share some experiences of traveling self-portrait.

In addition to the front camera and selfie stick, you deserve better-

To tell the truth, a tripod is a must for travel, and it can be used to shoot almost all kinds of topics in travel: sunrise and sunset waterfalls, human street sweepers' traffic, taking a delayed play and re-exposure, etc. But then again, you can find a good placement plane for your camera or mobile phone, download a few fun apps, play your creativity, and take selfies at any time.

when you decide to take a selfie, the fun of traveling begins to increase.

1. Play with yourself

Take selfies regularly

In Niangshui Town, a folk inn on the edge of Inlay Lake in Myanmar, suddenly a beam of light hit the steps, which was very beautiful. While the light is still there, I quickly took out my camera, sat in the sunshine and took a photo with it.

2. Multiple exposure

If you travel alone, you can play with flowers yourself, and passers-by will look at you as if you were watching the fun, but it doesn't matter. If you are happy, you can pull them in to play with you.

in pick up hot chicks, add a wechat?

Oh, I am my sister ...

People who leave without saying a word will never look back, and those who clamor for leaving will never go far ...

Shooting method:

1. Determine the position of the camera, choose your position and focus well;

2. Focus, you can put something where you want to stand, just move it after focusing;

3. The camera position is fixed. It is best to use M file to ensure the exposure is unchanged. You can take several photos by changing the position.

4. Then use photoshop imitation stamp tool on the computer to copy you from several photos to one-Done!

it seems that there are many steps, but it is actually very simple to operate.

Of course, if you want to be simpler and more fun, you can download an app called clonemagic

which can realize the gameplay of the above pictures (multiple exposures by superposition method)

There is a similar app called Ghost lens

This photo is similar to the one below

I took this photo with the re-exposure function that comes with the camera.

3. Silhouette

I wanted to shoot the sunset in Minai, but I overslept. When I got up, the sun was about to go down, but the sea in Minai was still beautiful at dusk. So I put a tripod on it and pressed a few.

Silhouette is more suitable for shooting in the morning or at night under the condition of backlight. These two silhouettes were taken by accident, just because the camera reminded me that what I saw was not quite the same as what you saw.

Second, pull friends to play together

Taking a group photo is more fun than being alone. If you are traveling together ... You're welcome, pull friends to make a mistake with you.

Jiangxi, Wuyuan? The dilapidated house in the village is the best place to take photos.

You can pose together, or you can do your own thing and pretend to be irrelevant.

Shooting method:

1. First, use a tripod to choose the right position;

2. One person looks at the composition through the camera, and the other person enters the picture to find a good position;

3. You can choose to take a selfie regularly or use a remote shutter;

4. After determining the composition, run to the position you are already optimistic about, and pretend as if nothing has happened ~ "click"

that's it.

Thailand, Chiang Mai rode a small mount for two days and took a picture before saying goodbye

We chose a path with fewer people, and the camera was across the road from us. It should be noted that when taking photos, you should pay attention to the passing vehicles, yourself and the safety of the camera, although the public security in Chiang Mai is very good (not as much as in wild one in HZM).

In terms of visual effects, photography is a game with light. We waited for a long time to wait until the sun came out. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the shadow of the sun on the wall through the leaves was very beautiful.

Myanmar, the original small courtyard of Inlay Lake?

In 216, we walked to this small yard and stood at the door, wondering if we could take some photos here? At this moment, a little sister came in on a scooter: "Ah, someone came back." So we are going to tell them if we want to take some photos here and see if we can get permission.

Third, play with local people

Fortunately, we met a very hospitable little sister from Myanmar. She not only agreed to take photos in the yard, but also invited us to the room.

We repeatedly asked in disbelief, "Can we go into the house?" After several positive answers, we took off our shoes and walked into their room.

We had a good time chatting together, so I asked her, "Why don't we take some photos together?"

"ok," said little sister.

what's the pose?

"What do you like to do?" I asked.

Xiaomei: "I like listening to music and watching movies"

Xiaomei's friend: "I like reading"

Xiaomei's sister "I like doing housework"

"Ok, let's shoot what you usually like to do."

Myanmar has preserved its traditional culture very well. Almost all the local men and women wear their national costumes, which are sarongs on their lower bodies. The men's clothes are called "cage base" and the women's clothes are called "special door", patting and patting. My little sister's friend proposed to change her clothes, so she specially changed her pants into "special door".

little sister said, let's dance.

So we made a circle, and my little sister danced very generously.

Communicating with local people during your trip can help you understand the local lifestyle very effectively. After being shy and restrained, you will find that they are more friendly than you think.

Fourth, play with him

Take your boyfriend to play with you, and take wedding photos during the trip. By the way, it may be possible to cultivate him into a master photographer.

Thailand, take two selfies before sunset in Baixian County.

He has learned to take pictures, compose pictures, and press the shutter ... You just need to look beautiful.

With him around, you don't have to worry about the tripod being carried away with the camera when you take a selfie ... Because it's a selfie, you won't be nervous in front of the camera at all, so just pose casually, whether it's intimate or funny.

I wish you all more happiness!
