Up Your Selfie Game with these cool tech accessories
Did you know that
the first ever selfie in India was taken back in 1880s by the then King and
Queen of Tripura. Well, there was no social media back then. But, in today’s
digital age, if it’s not on social media, then it didn’t happen. Selfies have
become a part of our pop culture and a popular way of expressing ourselves.
Look around, you’ll see a bunch of people raising their phone’s camera and
capturing their moments – in fact, has become a natural part of our reflex.
Everyone wants to put their best self out there, whether it’s a duck face or a
blur selfie or a candid family moment captured. Here are a few tips and tricks
that might help you ace your selfie game – without breaking the bank!
2 in 1 stick
Using a stick will
not only help in getting better stable shots but also better angles and
versatility. Once placed properly, it can capture wider shots adding more
background without having to hold the device for longer duration. Tripods
ensures handsfree shots, making it ideal for group photos, solo adventures etc.
Look for a stick cum tripod that is lightweight yet robust, making it easy to
carry during your outdoor adventures.
Get storage before
full storage gets you
People are spoilt with options available in the market. With
smartphones getting smarter, every smartphone now features built-in beauty
filters and high-quality cameras. A single picture on a 12-megapixel front
camera, for instance, requires about 7-8MB space and imagine how much space
would be required to store a thousand of selfies over the year. So, don’t let
storage hinder your creativity. Consider using a portable dual drive which not
only free up your phone’s space but also back up your memories. The SanDisk
Ultra® Dual Drive Go USB Type-CTM from SanDisk comes up to 1 TB of storage
space with fast transfer speeds of 400 MB/s at an affordable price of INR 1109
for 128GB*. IOS users can also opt for SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Luxe.
Mini lenses for pro shots
Adding a camera
lens can significantly transform your smartphone photography. These lenses are
portable and compact offering a range of benefits, from wider angles to sharp
focus and even specialized close, macro, fisheye shots. By simple clipping the
camera to your in-build front/back camera one can capture engaging and interesting
images, just like pros. And if you aspire to become a creator or just love
capturing memories, you may want to add this clip-on to your travel kit.
Extra light to brighten things
Clicking selfies is not easy as it sounds, with perfect
angles, cameras, one also need good lighting. Proper lighting and the kind of
lighting you use determines how you look in your pictures. These days there are
smartphones with built-in ring light at the back. For the users using the front
camera may go for portable, clip-on ring lights available online. A ring light
provides even lighting and improves colour accuracy and balanced brightness.
This gadget is ideal for low-light conditions. So, don’t worry clicking your
next dinner date memories.
Lastly, go all out! Try different angles, poses, don’t afraid
to show the real you. And smile, when in doubt. As we celebrate ‘Selfie Day’,
we must make sure we preserve our memories and that we may revisit in future.
