In reply to Jodi. Hi Jodi, thank you :) It's from Gaston Luga! But, I would say if you want to keep camera and lenses in a bag I would look for one with padding as that one was quite thin :) Sophie x

Great tips! Where is your backpack from? Love that is doesn’t look like a typical camera bag.

In reply to Jai. Hi Jai, thank you for reading. Yes, I always feel you're going to regret not getting your photos. So, who cares if someone judges you for ten minutes haha :) Good luck with your self-portraits! Sophie x

This is such an excellent article and I really enjoyed reading it. And your tips are fantastic. I also enjoy travelling solo and absolutely consider the tripod to be the the ‘ultimate selfie stick’.

I do feel a little bit awkward when people are around when I’m about to take a selfie using a tripod, but it’s got to be done lol.

And your advice is about the awkwardness (and everything else) is awesome and I must try to remember that ten minutes of awkwardness for a lifetime of memories mantra.

Thank you for such a wonderful article and post.

In reply to Nana. Hi Nana, yes it's great to take pictures with a monopod as well. I actually use my phone more nowadays but I still use a DSLR on occasion. I've noticed people are getting SO strict now this tripod rules it's annoying. Sometimes I use an octopus tripod and tie it to fences and barriers discreetly to get away with it ;) no worries. I also recommend an app called Lens Buddy that continually takes photos for you. It's Incredible! Thanks for reading. Sophie x

LoL I also prefer asking DSLR owner to take my pics.
I usually use monopod due to safety concern leaving behind my camera/smartphones at tripod for my behind pics :D
Got loads of selfies during traveling. But at least it less hassle if you have tight schedule or in a rush.
In some country like Japan, even monopod is forbidden in theme park and museums because it can be blocking people way.
I had to smuggling it by keeping it on my hidden pocket and using it when there’s no staff around :’D
But thank you for the Burst mode tips, will practice it before my next solo trips.
