For centuries, taking photos was all about other people. You\u2019d take lovely snaps of the kids, the camera would come out at family gatherings, but now we live in the era of the selfie. It seems there\u2019s no such thing as too many photos of yourself, shared of course on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.<\/p>\n

So, we need to take more photos of our beautiful faces and get them online for everyone to enjoy and National Selfie Day is the perfect time to do it. Selfies are incredibly popular with the younger generations, but perhaps it\u2019s time to encourage granny to get in on the act. So why not give her a selfie lesson?<\/p>\n

Get out that selfie stick and take photos of yourself in fun and interesting places. Practice the perfect pout, take a hundred photos and pick out the one that\u2019s the best to share. Don\u2019t forget the all important hashtag\u2026 #SelfieDay<\/p>\n

How to take a great selfie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking the perfect selfie takes practise. Luckily these days, you can take as many photos as you like and just delete them. No longer do you have to take your film along to Boots and pay for it to be processed, only to discover that half the photos are really terrible.<\/p>\n

Natural lighting \u2013 <\/strong>Get outside in the sunshine to take your selfies and you\u2019ll find those dark circles under your eyes disappear.<\/p>\n

Practice your smile<\/strong> \u2013 A fake smile will never look quite right. So get in front of the mirror and remember something funny that will bring a genuine smile to your lips.<\/p>\n

Mess around with angles<\/strong> \u2013 The right angle can make the world of difference. Try different angles and find the one that works best for you.<\/p>\n

Add filters to your images<\/strong> \u2013 Still not happy with your selfie? There are loads of apps and filters out there to further transform your photos. Don\u2019t be in a hurry to post them online, try some different filters. A little soft focus can certainly work wonders, and check to see if your phone\u2019s camera has a special selfie mode.<\/p>\n

A private plate<\/a> that\u2019s all about you<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selfies, they\u2019re all about\u2026. Yourself! You are awesome and so you might like to make your private plate all about you with a ME plate!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve certainly got a lot to choose from. How about 21 ME<\/a>, 69 ME<\/a>, 84 ME<\/a>, 91 ME<\/a> or 99 ME<\/a>?<\/p>\n

If you love taking photos we\u2019ve also got the perfect plate for any photographer\u2026 PHO 70S<\/a>.<\/p>\n
