I took "selfies" only kind of selfie I have ever taken btw.
Fortunately I have yet to meet someone with a selfistick since that would probably earn me an assault charge...
Anyhoo digressing.
As mention exploration snaps is pretty much the reason to go exploring and for special planets or views I have even done some vidcaps, coming in from night side of the planet and flying in a path creating a sped up version of a sunrise until I fly away from the planet, mostly in debug mode but some minor course correction is needed.
Also for taking screenshots inside the cockpit you can hide/disable Hud display with ctrl+alt+g.
You can actually dock easily enough with hud off, you just need to remember your bay number and the landing target indicator still shows up :p
I also tend to think of retracting my weapons as a sort of safety function. I thus tend to fly around res's with weapons retracted unless I am actually targeting something I intend to kill.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
