Things that confuse you...

I appreciate I am well ahead in terms of years...

But, two 'older' generation chaps discussing the technicalities of taking selfies... Really!
That's brutal :cry:, but fair. In my defence I could sense SILH was not grasping the replies so my aim was to simplify for him what others had already posted. I then got drawn in and left myself open for your post. It's a fair cop.

On the plus side, I will never be the one annoying you by obstructing a monument, picture, view etc whilst taking a selfie. Those people drive me nuts.
 
Not being a selfie taker - do folks not always take selfies looking at the screen - so looking at the front facing camera?
Mostly yes. The vast majority of 'selfies' will appear mirror-imaged, but I think some phones have a setting to correct/flip the image back before you upload it. But most people don't bother.
 
Apparently it is because we are used to seeing ourselves in a mirror so this is why the selfie is reversed. If you have an iPhone, you need a separate app to swap it back

Now that makes sense. Though I suspect that most folks who take selfies don't realise that their pictures are back to front :)
 
Super models?!?!
How is walking up and down wearing clothes that will never see the high street or average person, considered a job? And a highly paid one at that?

I know this will be a hard one to digest by those on the forum that wear loudmouth tops, cargo shorts and black socks on the course but the fashion industry baffles me🤪
