Caption This Adventure: How To Take the Perfect Selfie

Yesterday I read an article in ANY Cebu Magazine which is worth sharing. I thought this might help you guys or gives you an idea how to ace a perfect selfie next time. I like number 5 though. :)

Here it is....

We all have moments we take about 50 selfies, delete 49 of them, then stare at the last selfie until it becomes ugly and delete that one too, right? Here are 5 steps to take perfect selfies. 

1. Good lighting - Sometimes, it's all about the good lighting. If you face the sun, your skin shimmers and gives your photo a bright, natural effect. Facing away from the natural source of light, gives you photo the soft illusion of a sunset.

2. Find your angle - No one knows your face better than you. The internationally popular selfie angle is 45-degrees above your face; this makes it appear slimmer and trimmer. The further the camera is from your face, the more you reduce the fishbowl effect.

3. Extend your Neck Out - Try not to scrunch in your neck. It'll make your face look bigger and obviously, give you a double chin; which nobody wants.

4. The Right Filter - Sometimes, it's all about finding the right filter. Experiment with different filters to find one that best matches your lighting, but don't overuse them. A lot of people tend to do this and damage the photo quality of their beautiful face.

5. Just Smile - And if you think all these steps don't really help you out, just smile. Have fun!
