Is it possible to take a self-portrait using a flip rotatable screen DSLR for example, like Nikon D5200 and involving the hand ONLY? I haven't found much research on this on the internet so was curious to know as I'm planning to buy Nikon D5200 with the 50mm 1.8 lens |

I've tried with a wider 30mm lens (on a crop-sensor camera, like yours) but I still barely fit my full head into the frame; at 17mm my face takes up over 1/3 the width of the frame. I'd be really surprised if you can manage anything other than an extreme close-up of your face with a 50mm lens. Here's one example of someone who tried what you're proposing and they barely fit two tightly-cropped heads into the frame: there would not be much space left for any landmarks around you (and with the larger sensor of a DSLR, they'd be far enough away that they would be out of focus)! I'd suggest searching online for something like "50mm selfie" to see what other people have tried and look for images to see if you'd be happy with the results. The kit lens, at its widest length (18mm) and at very small apertures, would be a better way to capture a selfie and show the area around you. |
