When capturing those picture-perfect OPM moments on stage, selfie sticks can be a game-changer at a crowded concert (and tall people are in front of you). You can also make more eye-catching portraits of you and your friends by choosing a high angle: raise the camera above eye level to achieve a flattering selfie. Remember to share your images with the hashtag #GDayEveryday!
