iPhoneography from the Galapagos

  Sea lions by Karine Aigner // karineaigner.com

  NANPA Foundation recently returned from a photography trip to the Galapagos Islands, and group leader Karine Aigner shared these incredible photos with us. What makes them even more impressive is that these were all taken with an iPhone.

We often get questions from photographers concerned about the 44 lb weight limit on flights to the Galapagos, but who needs a telephoto lens with wildlife this close? The quality and convenience of technology becomes more impressive each day, and these photos are a perfect example.
