Be patient: Kangaroos can be a bit elusive or skittish, especially if they feel threatened. Be patient and allow them to become comfortable with your presence before attempting to take a selfie.

Use a zoom lens or selfie stick: To capture a good kangaroo shot selfie, consider using a camera with a zoom lens or a selfie stick. This will allow you to maintain a safe distance while still getting a clear shot.

Frame the shot well: When taking the selfie, make sure the kangaroo is in the background or part of the frame. Position yourself at an angle that captures both you and the kangaroo in a visually appealing way.

Natural lighting: Take advantage of the beautiful natural lighting at Lucky Bay. Position yourself so that the sunlight is illuminating your face and the kangaroo evenly, resulting in a well-lit and vibrant selfie.
