That shot of the castle with the Walt Disney statue is pretty impressive. It can be really hard to get both the foreground and background properly exposed. Is that an HDR photo?

I haven't ordered mine yet, I'm curious: do the new iphones have precise camera controls by any chance? I'm talking about the main three, shutter speed, iso, aperture. I doubt it but it would be nice. If not, how about an app that does so?

With the app Manual, I am able to change iso and shutter speed. Aperture is fixed to 2.2.

Did anyone try a manual camera app with night shots?

The standard camera app is optimized for shooting straight of your hand, for which it works great. The downside of this that the camera app tries to avoid motion blur and in low light situations, the ISO light sensitivity is increased resulting in grainy night shots.

However, with manual camera apps it is possible to use a slow shutter speed (maximum 1 second) with low ISO light sensitivity. If you use a steady base (no one can hold their phone perfectly still for one second), I suspect the iPhone would be able to produce great photos.

So, did anyone try :) ? I will tonight with my 5, but that's old tech :D .

I have not tried yet, but this is my plan.
I have phablet tripod mount for my 6 Plus on order from Amazon.
I found an app that does longer than 1 second exposure but it hasn't been updated since December 2013 and I haven't tried it yet. I might just try it.

I'm excited to see what the result will be. I have seen long exposure photos done on 5s and it was impressive. If there's another app that can utilize the bulb mode, I think the results would be stunning.

There hasn't been a need for a regular point and shoot camera since the 4S. I was really hoping this release would have a bigger sensor (since the phone is bigger), and an f/2 lens, but it's nice to see them working on their processing algorithms.

Auto HDR with the iPhone 6 Plus, edited in Camera+ (Clarity Pro might've been a bit much :))

First off Hello, really excited to share my first post here on the forums. Been reading the site for sometime now and figured I'd share some photos of mine from the last few days.

All shot in the native camera app and edited in VSCO Cam.
Taken around the Lima & Wapakoneta, Ohio area

Hope y'all enjoy

These are my favorite shared photos thus far. I recognized the VSCOcam filter edits right away. Easily one of my favorite photography apps.
