Mark your spot: the trick that fixes self-timer photos

Short answerBefore you start the timer, put something small on the floor where you'll stand: a coin, a shoe, tape. You'll land in focus and in frame every time.

Most solo shots fail because you end up slightly out of position: half out of frame, too close, or out of focus. Frame the shot with your marker in it, then stand on the marker. Done.
