What are selfies? Selfies are pictures you take of yourself, usually with a small camera like the one in a smartphone. Many people engage in that &#8220;sport&#8221;, so you can find examples of them everywhere.

Since everyone does it, nudists\/naturists do it too. There is a trick to doing it right though, especially if you do it more often.<\/p>\n<h2>Pitfalls.<\/h2>\n<p>Many people forget to make the picture slightly interesting. They just stand there, at best try a smile, and that&#8217;s it. Later they might find that there is a reflection in a mirror they entirely overlooked, or something else that destroys the image:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tagroom.com\/images\/uploads\/fail-selfies10.png\" width=\"215\" height=\"273\" \/>It pays off to make sure, and it costs nothing.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t just stand there.<\/h2>\n<p>Another thing that&#8217;s worth considering is &#8220;don&#8217;t just stand there&#8221;. Try to get the environment in the picture if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re there for. If you want to have a shot of you because it&#8217;s you, it might benefit the picture to do something, hold something in your hand, or look at something (which preferably is also in the picture).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/17306240\/zjuzdme.org.img\/zmnu\/DSC01372t.JPG\" width=\"588\" height=\"335\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now I don&#8217;t claim to be an expert, but I like to look at nice pictures.
