An adventurer's guide to epic travel selfies with OPPO F1
Nowadays travel is not complete without
your gadgets and a selfie phone is a must next to your passport or whatever.
Being in a perfect place, you should always be ready with your selfies. So whether
it’s a day hike up Pico de Loro or a few days touring Angkor Wat in Cambodia,
travel is always the perfect time for selfies. But any selfie won’t do if you
want to capture the grandeur of the great outdoors from atop a mountain, or
those ancient ruins choked by overgrown banyan trees—with you included in the
shot, of course.
Travel selfies are as much about the place
as they are about you. Otherwise, you don’t get to show proof of how awesome
your vacation trip was, save for a souvenir shirt or some nasty sunburn. So
rather than filling the entire shot with just your face, be sure to highlight
the destination in your selfie.
With that said, here are a few other tips
on capturing travel selfies that will be the envy of your IG followers:
Show
some action
So you got a selfie with your face beside
the Eiffel Tower. Cool, but not much in the way of excitement. Try doing something
to make you look like you’re having a great time, like spreading your arms wide
to welcome yourself in Paris, or even eating ice cream.
Angle
for personality
Your choice of angle can also give your
selfie some character. If you’re standing near the foot of a huge landmark like
the Big Ben, you can go for a selfie angled from the bottom to capture the
height of the monument.
Avoid
cheesy tourist selfies
Please, none of those cheesy
forced-perspective shots like giving the Sphinx or Christ the Redeemer a kiss,
if you don’t want to end up with a stock-photo-esque selfie.
Selfies
without a face?
Selfies don’t always have to show your
face. For a bit of drama, you can try taking selfies from the side or slightly
behind your head. This works really well for outdoor selfies, like when you’re
looking out from a cliff or watching the sunset from the beach. To make this
shot work, be sure to carry a selfie stick with you.
Tools
of the trade
A selfie stick is a great companion whether
you’re traveling alone or with a group if you want to snap “groufies” with no
problem. Another helpful buddy is a power bank.
Your camera phone is also another tool
you’d want to consider. The OPPO F1s, for instance, comes with a panorama
feature for wide-angle shots—great for groufies and selfies against a
breathtaking backdrop. The palm-activated shutter also lets you make those
quick selfies while you’re touring around a city.
The anti-shake feature further prevents
blurs even as you take selfies while walking, while the 16-megapixel
front-facing camera is designed with a 1/3.1-inch sensor and f/2.0 aperture for
very clear selfies despite low-light conditions.
Worried about running out of juice in the
middle of a tour? OPPO’s “selfie expert” takes care of that with a 3075mAh
battery that lasts the whole day.
“One-of-a-kind moments deserve to be saved,
especially if they happen in places we don’t often get to go to,” said OPPO
Philippines Brand Marketing Manager Stephen Cheng. “That’s the promise of the
OPPO F1s. With hardware and software working to capture the perfect selfie, the
F1s ensures great travel shots you’d like to keep and share with the people you
love.”
