How to take photos by yourself

On this occasion I was that I wanted to take photos but I always have to do it alone and it is difficult for me on some occasions, so I wanted to share the way I do this because it is possible that some of you will use it for your photos when you have no one to help you.

I wanted to take photos of myself on the roof of my house because I think the place looks nice, so I grabbed a couple of boxes and put them on the roof, in fact I have a cell phone holder that I made myself with cardboard, so that way made it easier for my phone to be hold to something.

Once I got to the roof I evaluated where I wanted to take the photos and stacked the boxes to have a suitable height and look good in the photos, and on top of these I placed the holder for my phone.

To take the photos we can use the timer of our camera and this will give us a few seconds to fix ourselves before taking the photo, I used the timer manually for some photos and I also used an option that brings my cell phone that is that when you show the palm of your hand the phone automatically activates a timer of 3 seconds until the photo is taken, this is perfect when you are at a distance.

These are some of the photos that I managed to take using the palm of my hand to take them. I have to mention that I still need to refine this because I don't know if I can adjust the focus so that the photo comes out better.

And these other photos that you are about to see I took by placing the cell phone on the floor, yes, I only put it on the floor, but the trick is that it was like a step above this, so this effect gives the feeling as if floor out of glass and my phone was under it.
