Got a question...

jlmarta

Anybody own/use a selfie stick?  How does a person deal with the problem of focus if you're using it alone?  I know the iPhone focuses automatically but mine seems to take a certain amount of time before it's focused. How would I know when it's focused?

We've already established elsewhere that you are a hansom man with a hansom mustache, but a selfie stick?????

I thought selfie sticks were for beating people that take selfies

Jeeze, you clowns are such a huge help.   if ya must know, my child bride, sweetheart that she is, is one of those people who has absolutely no mechanical aptitude. If it's mechanical it hates her. We can spend hours trying to get a photo of the Mighty Jasper whereas only seconds if I had a selfie stick. 

I shoulda known better. I shoulda just googled it in the first place instead of giving you vultures a chance to heap ridicule upon this loveable oldfart. Well, live and learn, I guess. (Emphasis on 'live')

Here's a thought...  do you have a camera that you could use instead of your iPhone?

Most of them have timers for selfie-stuff, and the lens of a camera might be better for portraiture too.

Now, see?  That's the kind of helpful advice I'd expect from the BOTLs. 

Yep, I do have a camera with a self-timer. And now that you mention it, I believe there's even an app within an app that I have on my iPhone. I'd forgotten all about it. 

Thank ya, Peter. Youze iz a good kid....  I'll look into that. (The app, not the kid).
