Pretty impressed with the low light shots, was the dof effect in the pebble photo the default camera or a third party app?
I worked with capuchin monkeys in Bolivia for 4 months and there is no way I'd whip my brand new iphone out in front of them.
If you ever get a chance, go to Ubud town in Bali. There you'll find a popular tourist destination called Monkey Forest. Capuchin monkeys are angels compared to the monkeys in Monkey Forest.
I'm a noob with cameras, can I ask with low light shots, do u use flash? What mode do u use? Auto? Hdr? I usually just use auto for everything lol.
Default effect, no filter. I believe it was mentioned on stage during the keynote that it would have this effect by default (taking features of a DSLR).
Flash off
HDR Auto
HDR is for when there's bright brights and dark darks, like during a really sunny day when you've also got something in shadow. So that wouldn't really be for low light shots.
For low light shooting, I tend to shoot without flash. There's a fantastic new exposure control feature with iOS 8. Lock the AF/AE by tapping and holding on the subject in your photo until the yellow box flashes a couple times. Then you'll notice a little yellow sun indicator next to the yellow box. You can slide your finger up and down the screen to adjust the exposure.
This is an amazing and easy tool which I use all the time. Obviously for a low light shot, you'd slide up a little to increase the brightness.

I've seen those before; they're like these buds - mini tomatoes. When I was growing up, me and my friends pulled them off branches and used them to throw at one another.
Cheers. I missed that in the keynote, but then my connection did keep dropping off and I just skimmed the one they posted for the highlights.
The camera on my 6 Plus is great, but the thing that has impressed me the most is the quality of the low light photos.
Well...it looks OK. What I don't like about it is it's clear Apple has really cranked up the noise reduction (and associated edge sharpening) in the iPhone 6 processing, giving you that smeary, watercolory effect that eliminates grain at the expense of a more natural look. All the low light shots I've seen from the 6 exhibit this characteristic. It's a shame, Apple used to be very restrained in the application of NR, which made iPhone shots grainier than other cameras, but also not as weird looking. Wish they gave us an option somewhere, even just a simple slider, to determine how much NR gets applied. Or even better yet, give us a RAW format, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.
Family photos... Nice smile, good dental work!
