Not really sure what you are asking here
It is possible to take shots like these although they will probably not be as easy or as nice as those taken by another photographer

Most DSLR or mirrorless cameras come with WiFi capabilities nowadays, so it should be fairly easy for you to adjust your settings using your phone without having need to set-timer-and-run-back-and-forth: You will be able to focus more on the poses/lighting/background etc. instead
A mini tripod will be good to have since it is often difficult to find supports of the right height to put your camera 

Otherwise just invest in a selfie stick, but then the resulting photos will look very similar to one another

Rather than just taking photos, you should do a videolog as well.

I highly recommend caseynetistat YouTube channel. Simple equipments but really interesting videos !

I know what you mean man haha
I like to take these type of shots as well during my trips, cause sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed to ask people to take for us, and sometimes there are no people to ask at all 

I used to shoot using self-timer and remote shutter; both are quite challenging.
With self timer you will sweat really easily since you need to run around, and your expression and poses will surely be affected. Remote shutter is slightly easier but you still need your partner to pose first to set up AF- still need to run around

Here's a shot I took using timer and continuous shooting since I only have one chance in this lifetime to get it right :-


These type of shots will likely be of the same style- landscape. More artistic shots (upclosed, tilted etc.) will require a lot more time and effort 

Recent DSLR and mirrorless cameras allow you to adjust settings and AF using your smartphone- very convenient. The only trouble is that you need to find a place to hide your phone!
Face detection makes things alot easier too, worth trying out too 

Thanks man for your kind words 
I'm sure the shot would be better if taken by another person haha

Hoho, dedicated selfie camera Can use also ma if you want

Perhaps you can take a look at the Sony A5100, should fit your shooting style. Iinm, it can also be used to take shots using your handphone 

Wah, so naice   
All the best man, you can do it~~ 

Any one considering using a drone for this purpose? Don't know whether will it be possible. Worth a try....

Cheers...

Some countries u can't leave u camera on a tripods or in the hand of others.
like Italy or some Europe country there ppl waiting to snatch ur stuff

Interesting approach.. only one suggestion.. get a wireless not IR remote which requires a direct line of sight and also use the delay trigger option.. It will hopefully cut down the obvious and awkward hand trigger position and body language..

I have been there. And they are lots of thievery incidents there. Pick pockets every where. My tour bus also got rob during our dinner time.

Get A6000. I've never use it before, but a lot of people are praising it for it's auto focus and specs.

I shot this using camera's built in timer and tripod, I don't have a remote, but I will try to get a remote next time I want to do this. Had to run back and forth to set camera and check image, it's tiring.

Both the a5100 and a6000 allows you to wirelessly take photos using your smartphone ("Sony Smart Remote Control" App) right? 
You can adjust where to focus (this one is the trickiest part, especially for solo shots), and even all the other camera settings too- extremely convenient. Just need to think of where to hide the phone 

[I don't have a Sony, but I have a Fujifilm that allows remote control through smartphone as well, should be similar]

you mean something like this?

Tripod (if oversea I recommended Manfrotto Pixi, tiny and easy to bring), camera with wifi support (you able view from phone app)

Sample from mine


#X-T1 + 23mm f/1.4 + Pixi

True, but not every model has the support for remote control, so have to be careful haha 
Well, the 50mm F1.8 (equivalent to 75mm on APS-C sensors) isn't called the portrait lens for nothing. But then whether to get one or not really depends on your budget and skills.
For starters, maybe it will be better to stick to the 16-50 kitlens first   Most people only opt for the 35/50mm F1.8 as the 2nd lens, after becoming more experienced at shooting 

Update: The zooming ability will allow you to work better in tight spaces too- very important for self-shots. Yeah, the zoom lens is better in this case- more versatile

Nope. Yes it's short and you may refer here http://www.manfrotto.com/collection/8374.5...072172.0.0/Pixi
Tall I would suggest get befree if you really oversea, because light always the first.

Also depends on your requirement of the photo. my friend previously wanted to shoot his own prewedding himself. with lighting and hair and makeup... after an hour he called me to come assist ... he was tired of running about and checking the exposures. mirrorless + wifi is the way to go to make it easy. Thats why I'm thinking of switching to mirrorless .. since two years .. lol still THINKING stage.

but this is definitely a good idea. Im going to try do this too, been a while since I bring out my beat up dSLR to play... always behind the camera, never in front ...

best of luck Frank3
