Granted it's not what you typically think of as a selfie. The pictures are taken with a $3,000 DSLR and the photographer is a professional. He sets a timer on the camera and then gets into the scene. Some pretty nice scenes too.

These were taken in the Canadian Wilderness (http://www.fastcodesign.com/3025421/jaw-dropping-selfies-taken-in-the-canadian-wilderness), including a few of the Aurora Borealis.

And for those who think a professional photographer doesn't make a difference, I say they're delusional. Nice photos!

The photos are beautiful. I can't imagine going solo to some of the places he goes alone. I'm sure it is peaceful but I would prefer someone to enjoy it with.

I can't imagine going solo to some of the places he goes alone.

He might go as part of his photography career. He might just like to be alone too. I don't think it was mentioned in the article. I guess it depends how long he stays too. It's one thing to go some of these places for a few days to specifically capture a lot of images and another thing to go for a few weeks just to go.

Me too. I want to think you just need to have that scenery, but I know that even in front of that scenery I wouldn't come away with images that looked as good.

But not a selfie.

Maybe not what we typically think of as a selfie, but he did take the pictures himself and he is in the pictures. I would think those count as selfies. Just with much better equipment, better scenery, and a sense of how to take a good picture.

I agree, not typical which why they're so good, but it still qualifies as a selfie.

Having himself in the photos adds a nice dimension to the already beautiful pictures
