Chapter 13 : Using a Selfie Stick
As the popularity of the ‘selfie’ continues to grow people are becoming more and more obsessed with finding a way to take ‘the perfect selfie.’ With the creation of the selfie stick, narcissism has reached a new peak, as has its acceptability in social culture.
What is a Selfie Stick?
A Selfie Stick is, simply put, a long pole with an attachment on the end to hold in your camera, allowing you to hold the stick out and get a picture of yourself with a wider angle than you would have simply holding it. While the most commonly used Selfie Sticks are very cheap, more expensive, durable ones can be found online for the avid self-photographer.
Cons:
-When you are using a selfie stick there can be no doubt as to what is going on. No longer can you snap pictures of yourself while pretending to check Instagram on the subway. Your selfie habits with the selfie stick are clear as crystal for the world to see.
-The selfie stick is being banned in many museums and tourist attractions around the world because in the hands of people who aren’t paying attention or being cautious they can be hazardous to people and things around them.
-They look absolutely ridiculous.
Pros:
-You MIGHT be able to get a better selfie with it than without.
Overview:
While it looks like the cons of the Selfie Stick greatly outweigh the pros it is up to you to decide whether or not you think possibly getting a better photo is worth it. However, be mindful of those around you and of the possible restrictions of any attractions you visit!
使用自拍杆
随着自拍照越来越火热，人们也不断地在寻求着一个方式拍出‘最完美的’自拍。自拍杆的发明，将这一个看似是自恋的举动又推向了新的高潮，但是其社会认可度也是极高的。
什么是自拍杆？
自拍杆，简单来说就是一根长杆，相机在一头，人们握着另一头，以便取得更好的照相角度。而且最常见的自拍杆非常便宜，那些昂贵的、耐用的自拍杆，也可以在网上买到，供那些狂热的自拍粉使用。
缺点：
----当你使用自拍杆的时候，全世界都知道这是用来干什么的。不能再假装像是翻阅Instagram朋友圈一样，顺便来个自拍。而当你举着手里的自拍杆的时候，大家都能看到，你在自拍。
----自拍杆在许多博物馆或是旅游景点是禁止使用的。因为当你专注于使用自拍杆的时候，你很难顾及到自己身边的人或事物，可能会对他们造成伤害。
--- 自拍杆看着非常的奇怪。
优点：
--- 有了自拍杆，你可以拍到更满意的自拍。
总的来说，自拍杆的缺点好像看起来多过其优点。但是你依然可以决定自己是否使用自拍杆照相。但是，当你使用自拍杆的时候，请小心身边的环境，或是提前了解你所探访的景点是否禁止使用自拍杆。
