Self portrait… The hard way.
Throw your multi-thousand dollar camera in the air, spinning it, so that one of the shots will be of one pointing back to the ground. Click on the image for the video.
Easy way… Use an Android app like Morpho Self Camera
Click the above image to see a series of Android phone commercials with the Japanese music group Arashi. The above link starts with the commercial demonstrating the use of Morpho Self Camera. The female voice in Japanese is from the app telling them if “she” sees them in the camera lens or not, or how many people she sees. (Software supports recognizing only one or two people.) Note: The software uses your phone’s language setting so that it will speak English if your phone is set up in English instead. Morpho Self Camera can be found in the Android Market at this link.
Of course, the other way to do it is just to take the picture blindly as we all normally do, but using face recognition software is much more fun! Well, OK, much more fun until you get tired of the phone telling you that she doesn’t see you.
In a similar vain to the hard way, here is a painful video on how to lose $2,400 in 24 seconds:
Click on the above image for the 24 second video. Note, “painful” is more figurative at the thought of losing $2,400. There is a happy ending though as you can see in the comments.
