    Take 50. One is bound to be good.

    If MFP has taught me anything...

    For Girls: Next to little clothing and focus on your chest while giving a seductive look
    For Guys: Have no shirt on and flex hard while giving a serious look

    That's how I roll! Except it's more like 99. :grumble:

    This. Exactly this. And even then, you've got to choose non-rabid facial expression or pretty hair. These two things are mutually exclusive.

    And you absolutely MUST be in the universal photo booths.
    Bathroom for the younger set, car for the older ones. It's an unwritten rule.

    I read an interesting article on selfies yesterday. The term is so overused that people are referring to ANY picture as a selfie. It even happens on the news. People really are brainless. There are adults calling photos that you would take of your dog a "selfie." How dumb do you have to be?
    Well, excuse me, sir!

    I cannot take a good selfie for the life of me. I give up. There's just never going to be any pictures of me because I'm always the one with the camera when we're out with friends & family.

    Adjust for lighting (with angle, usually). Hide your arm. My profile pic was a selfie, and it isn't terrible (IMO). Most of my selfies are in the wilderness... there are not other people to take a pic, so if I want to be in the shot, then it is a selfie.

    Unless you are taking nudes or something, but then again, that's just depressing that you wouldn't have someone to take them for or with you even then eh?

    Let's be clear: That I am alone does not mean I am lonely. Does nobody else enjoy solitude and wilderness, and want to take pictures of themselves in a beautiful place miles from any other person?
