Read on for the Many Types of Travel Selfies, Part 2, for letter M in the A to Z Challenge!
(see part one of the Many Types of Travel Selfies here)
1. The Where I’m Standing Selfie. For when you get bored with taking pictures of your face…and when you’re standing on cute roads 🙂
2. The Wear-a-Local-Hat Selfie. Priceless.
3. The Beer Selfie. (Not recommend for those under 18/21 depending on where you are…or really, anyone?)
4. The Catch-the-Monument Selfie! Effective when you have excellent timing like me. Not so effective when you don’t expect it to work and you forget to make your signature cheesy smile.
5. The Sneak-a-Picture-Somewhere-Pretty Selfie. Usually most useful in places where pictures are forbidden…because you need a selfie EVERYWHERE. Because proof.
6. The Let’s Pretend We’re in a Harry Potter Movie Selfie. Maybe only applicable to a dork like me.
7. The Half-Face-Sitting-on-Rocks Selfie.
8. The Let’s Take One NOW Selfie! Just don’t warn the person that’s in your selfie and it will end up perfectly. See below.
9. The Try-to-Look-Natural Selfie. By pretending to laugh a little. It’s so natural, obviously.
10. The Pub Selfie. You get it, right?
11. The We’re Going to a Balloon Festival Even Though We Both Have Fevers Selfie. Again…proof. The lesson? Sometimes it’s okay to not have proof.
12. The Hot Air Balloon Selfie. I would experiment with other angles, but…it totally worked.
13. The I-Forgot-Where-the-Sun-Was Selfie. It’s a foolproof and accidental way to add an artsy twist to your selfies.
14. The Flower Selfie. This requires that you look pensive…so no smiling!
15. The Rain Selfie. There’s no accessory like a bright orange hood.
Linking up again with Bonnie, Tina and Melanie for Travel Tuesday!

We are guilty of taking photos of everything but ourselves when traveling, but thanks to our cell phone and the selfie we do have a couple shots to “prove” we’ve been somewhere. Now you’ve given me all different kinds of selfies for next time 🙂
Sean @ His and Her Hobbies says
Great list. I enjoyed reading your list. I am not one for selfies as it always take several shots for me to be happy with the photo and by then I have given up and have moved on to another subject to photograph.
AmyMacWorld says
Thanks for stopping by! 🙂 that happens to me a lot too…but sometimes I commit to a few shots to get the best one, or just deal with the one I took! Or, I end up with funny shots like these 😉
Food Booze & Baggage says
Great list 🙂 I’m terrible at taking selfies…we have few “proof” pictures. The foot one is a great idea when the sidewalk/road is interesting, as I love details like that but always end up trashing the picture because it has no focal point.
AmyMacWorld says
I love the feet pictures for some reason! I take them everywhere and always keep them 🙂 a lot of selfies do get trashed haha because it turns out sometimes a picture of whatever you’re taking a selfie with is just better!
AmyMacWorld says
And thanks for stopping by, so much! 🙂
Corinne Vail says
Too funny…love them all!
AmyMacWorld says
Thanks 🙂 most of them ended up being unintentionally funny!
