Would You Believe These Incredible Photos Were Taken on a Phone?
Even with all the iPhone photography tips and apps out there, it's still impressive when you see a stunning shot taken on a phone instead of a DSLR. Case in point: this year's winners of the annual iPhone Photography Awards. Ahead, check out all the winners of the 17 categories like architecture and animals (and see the runner-up photos here). Entries came from iPhone photographers from more than 70 countries like Germany and South Africa — and some are even better than you'd imagine. Source: Yilang Peng
