Hi all, could someone please recommend a good app for taking pictures on your own, I've recently been given a samsung tablet. I don't have a decent camera so was hoping to use the tablet for self takes.

It all depends on what kind of photo processing you need. There are applications where the filter is applied. There are more severe applications to handle. Where you can align the tone, contrast, clarity, and hue. Some apps work like a background eraser. With them, you can erase the background, and at the same time, it won't affect the central element of the photo. By the way, it is for this effect that you need to choose an application that will do everything efficiently. It's just that I've come across when some elements of the main subject can be erased along with the background. It's good that I was able to find a good app now. Write down exactly how you want to process the photo.

I like to take a video on my phone with a tripod, then as your playing the video back you can take a photo from the video.

Hey Camera. It's much better than whistle app (which doesn't work when it's windy), you just say ‘photo' and it takes a photo, or ‘video' and it starts recording, then ‘stop' to stop.

I use my tablet for self photos too, and honestly, what works best for me is the video method—just record a short video and then grab stills from it later. It saves me the hassle of timing the shot perfectly. Also makes it easier to catch natural poses or expressions without rushing.

If you ever think about editing those clips or trimming them to make quick videos for social, I found something handy while searching around—this https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-cutter.html helps break down clips without needing full editing knowledge. Simple to use and does the job quick.

I use lens buddy. Set the amount of shots and delay between shots. Do a practice with just you in the shot to get the distance and all in frame and job done.

Can shoot in Raw also for better adjustment
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
