Hey guys what’s going on?
Trisha Hershberger here and today we are talking about
technology and selfies.
Hear me out on this one.
Technology the application of scientific
knowledge for practical purposes.
Selfies the documentation of one’s daily activities to share
with the world.
Guys this is how to take the perfect selfie Tech-Splained.
One of the most
important factors in any photograph is your lighting.
Lighting can change the color depth
shadows highlights of your photo and it could make the difference between a flattering selfie
and an unflattering selfie.
If you can go outside daylight is the best and if you can’t go outside
standing by a window to get the daylight is a close second.
Now if you have to be inside and
you’re dealing with artificial light make sure it’s coming at you from all sides evenly
and it’s the
same color temperature.
And if you need help with that there’s always gadgets.
There’s a
variety of different selfie gadgets out there from the selfie sombrero yes that’s a real
thing to the
selfie drone which is a real expensive thing.
But if you’re looking for a middle of the road selfie
gadget most people are probably familiar with this selfie stick.
Now this is a little bit of a higher
end model selfie stick.
This is the KS08 you can find it on Amazon and of course the selfie stick
gives you that nice reach between yourself and your phone and it gives you different
angles as
well.
In addition to that this one has a shutter button on the bottom so you don’t need to
set your
camera timer and it’s got a light button.
Just up here you’ll see some lights.
So remember how I
said some gadgets could help with the lighting?
This is one of those gadgets.
It’s got a flip
around mirror on the front so that you can line up your shot if you’re using your rear
facing cam.
And yeah it’s a pretty nice one.
You can tilt etc.
Now there’s a lot of different things you could
get out of a selfie stick.
Some will have bluetooth wireless water proofing extra sturdiness lots of
stuff so do your shopping if you’re so inclined before you buy a selfie stick and make sure
you
swallow that jagged pill of you will be the person in public with a selfie stick.
Alright other things
you can do to help your selfie.
You can buy a clip on or magnetic lens.
This could be a fisheye a
wide angle etc that are made for believe it or not your smart phone.
This will give you a little bit
more of an artistic look in your selfies.
Now if you’re not into an extra physical lens there’s
software that can mimic the same functionality.
So you can get a wide angle selfie by either
using Wide Selfie mode on a Samsung phone or Pano Selfie on iOS.
And what this does it’ll
take a panoramic selfie using the front facing cam.
Pretty cool.
Now once you have the shot
exactly how you want it to look it’s photo editing time.
There are many different photo editing
apps out there that will give you filters the ability to adjust the color the tone etc.
But You Cam
selfie adds an extra step to that with its beautification features.
I kid you not.
Not only can you
smooth out your skin and contour your face a little bit which could be useful you can
make your
eyes bigger change the shape of your nose.
You can completely change the shape of your face.
You can change the shape of your body to be taller or thinner.
It can remove whatever kind of
blemish you want from your face.
It basically makes you look like a cartoon but with moderation
can make a pretty nice photo.
I’ll leave that up to your discretion guys.
Now go forth and share
your new technologically enhanced selfies with the world and make sure that you tag

can see your good work guys.
