You do not have to lug around a huge camera bag full of expensive gear. With my iPhone I can take a photo, edit it in the phone and then share it with friends, family and my followers all over the within minutes. There are some great apps in iPhones now that make them really versatile and great travel photography cameras.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2446\" style=\"width: 5380px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2446\" class=\"wp-image-2446 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128.jpg\" alt=\"Tiger Leaping Gorge, travel photography\" width=\"5370\" height=\"3580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128.jpg 5370w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5370px) 100vw, 5370px\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2446\" class=\"wp-image-2446 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%205370%203580%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Tiger Leaping Gorge, travel photography\" width=\"5370\" height=\"3580\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%205370%203580%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 5370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5370px) 100vw, 5370px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128.jpg 5370w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-Tiger-Leaping-Gorge_AdobeStock_79834128.jpg\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-2446\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiger Leaping Gorge<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>Could you share some of your travel photography tips using your iPhone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Before you leave, attend a workshop that teaches you how to take photos and edit them on your phone.<\/li>\n<li>Take an external portable battery charger with you so you can charge your phone while walking around.<\/li>\n<li>Download a few apps to edit your photos.
