How do you take a good selfie on a android?! Do you use a timer? Lighting, best pose lol?! Struggling at this selfie milarkie, look like a yeti that's been undiscovered for hundreds of years!

Every one of my pix is a selfie.

Get a good timer app that takes multiple shots and have a session where you take LOADS.

it's the only way to get a few good ones!

Xxxx

I use a Sony A5100 on a tripod. It connects to Wi-Fi and there is a remote app which allows me to view the camera in real time on my phone / tablet. That way I can line up the shot then fire the shutter.

You'll get one eventually, I can sense you aren't really adverse to the idea!

Also try a webcam and cordless mouse so you can be away from the computer but view on the screen how the picture will look, then click away.

I tried using fastburst which is great for taking plenty of shots at staggered intervals, but I didn't like any of those so I reverted to camera fv-5 full and played with the settings to take a bnw at iso100. If you CBA with that, stick with fastburst

I conclude that the better looking of the other mes (me's?) must be me. The other hideous trog must just be my inner demons surfacing because of the "photos taken by other people" phobia kicking in!
