Ever since it became a trend, I had always bashed the concept of the "selfie" because it seemed like a stupid idea. There were a few preconceived notions behind this assumption. Because I used the cameras inside the Nintendo DSi for years, I assumed that I had been taking "selfies" since "before they were cool." However, it was not until after my move to Colorado that I got to take a real "selfie" and get a new appreciation for it.
Now, I have posted duplicates of the same image because I wanted to show how I took it vs. how it properly looked when rotated. The common factor I have noticed with taking pictures on the Nintendo DSi and 3DS is that in order to get the "selfie" shot that everyone has no issues with on their smart phone, not only does one have to be in the perfect lighting (Nintendo's cameras don't include a flash feature), but one also has to have the handheld rotated at a right angle.
There's another fact that I'd like to point out regarding my pictures. It honestly wasn't much help that the weather was very bright and sunny. In a nutshell, this means that while it was perfect picture-taking conditions, having the sun right in your eyes while trying to get a good shot tends to make for some interesting pictures, as demonstrated by a couple of examples -- shown below:
