Taking good pictures is always a struggle. On top of that, managing to take good photos of yourself when you are travelling by yourself? Seems like quite an impossible task doesn’t it? Not quite, since it is 2017 and technology is always there to save the day. Here are the 10 ways to take near-perfect photos of you by yourself.

1. Self-timer

Every camera and mobile phone have a self-timer feature on them, which makes it a pretty simple task to take your photos; you can even practice your best pose while the timer counts down to the click!

2. Burst mode

This feature on cameras allows a number of photos to be taken immediately and then you can choose the best one you want to keep. This is a really good idea for those special poses that just cannot be perfected in one take.

3. Video screenshot

This may seem like a lengthier method but hard work leads to beautiful pictures! It is quite a simple method; you just record a video of yourself and then find the right frame, pause the video, take a screenshot and voila! You have your perfect picture.

4. Reflections

This method has been around for quite a while now. Use reflective surfaces such as mirrors or sunglasses to take stunning photos of yourself.

5. Selfie stick

There is nothing simpler than using a selfie stick to take your pictures as you travel alone. Selfie sticks have made solo travelling quite convenient by allowing travellers to take their pictures without putting in a lot of effort.

6. Traditional selfie

You could either choose to go for a selfie stick or just rely on your own arm length to snap a perfect photo of yourself while exploring new places.

7. Dash cam
