The Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus come with a rather simple but easy to use camera app.
But what if you want to take create special effects for example, light trails.
Well below are a few examples of what is possible using a third party app called Nightcap Pro.
Nightcap Pro also have a long exposure mode which has the ability to take superb night shots.
The photos above have been compressed down from 13mb to 1mb.
Truly simple photos to create as well.
In a unusual twist , OnePlus is launching its most profitable product (potentially ). A case for the iPhone 6/6S and charging £15.99 plus postage.
Don’t worry, each case has a free invite. Woah. A free invite. Don’t all jump at once!
If you’re lucky you might find a free phone inside. I’d love to know the odds on this coming true !

Software updates received in a timely manner are really important especially when they contain security patches.
BlackBerry hasn’t disappointed with its Priv handheld and released its first update offering the following changes –
“Here’s what the release, which brings productivity AND security improvements (and requires approx 475 MB of space), has to offer:
– An improved camera: We’ve implemented a number of tweaks that improve the speed of our camera app, and re-tuned it for better low-light image quality.
– Better performance: We’ve also tweaked the PRIV’s software to improve overall system performance
– Improved stability: The update further includes a number of adjustments designed to improve device reliability and reduce instances of crashing and freezing.
– Enhanced security: Lastly, the release includes December’s security patches – rest easy knowing your device is protected against the latest Android security threats.
Be sure to also keep an eye out for coming updates to BlackBerry’s Android apps: Blackberry Keyboard, Blackberry Hub, Blackberry Camera, and DTEK by BlackBerry. The latest version of each will be available through the Google Play Store on December 14. The improvements include:
– Camera: Now supports 16:9 photos
– Keyboard: Increased language support and emojis added to predictive typing
– Hub & Contacts: Now includes WhatsApp
– DTEK by BlackBerry: More notification options to alert you when apps use your info
When the update becomes available for your PRIV, applying it is both free and easy to do:”
Now this is a good reason to buy this phone. Hopefully BlackBerry will continue this rapid firmware deployment with security patches and bug quasi and adding new features too.

From top to bottom. Tiggy, Fury and George.
As they say, the best phone is the one in your pocket.
Fury’s photo was taken with the front facing camera using flash.
Amazon have released a video featuring Jeremy Clarkson describing how Prime Air now works (or when or if approved).
It is worth having a look at how Amazon complete the 30 min delivery service from order to drop off as it seems they have thought of all the options, apart from Americans using their guns and shooting the drone out of the sky!
So what do you think? And how much would you pay for Prime Air 30 min delivery service? Personally if I was desperate for something, then up to £10. Would you?
The BlackBerry Priv is finished is a grippy plastic material. Some users have reported that its a bit plastic but have no fear, Karalux is here with its 24K gold-plated BlackBerry Priv. The gold plating comes cheap at a cost of $1,333. Plus Postage.
As much as I like gold finishes I just don’t see the point personally. However, a trip some years ago to Harrods Department Store in London, revealed a whole area dedicated to gold, diamond and other expensive finishes to iPhones and BlackBerry’s. Blackberry’s were very much in demand.

There were a number of reports over the last 7 days that Apple will remove the headphone jack on the next iPhone.
Connection to your music will either be done via bluetooth or using the lightning connector. Personally, removing the headphone jack might upset a few people, but really it is not a major disaster. Potentially the sound quality via the lightning cable should sound better and bluetooth music audio is particularly good nowadays.
Now if Apple provided an adapter to allow 3.5mm headphones to connect to the lightning port, then I really cannot see the fuss or inconvenience other than not being able to charge the phone whilst listening to music.
But what about yourself? Would you care?
Here are the facts from Adele’s new album 25 after just its first week of sales.
– UK – sold 800,000 copies.
– USA – sold 3.38 million copies.
Now lets add some meat to those figures. In the USA, 25 is the first album to ever have broken the 3 million mark in a week. It is also the biggest selling album in 2015 in the USA, with Taylor Swift’s 1989 selling just 1.8 million albums.
In the UK, the figure of 800,000 is more than the next 86 albums sales combined.
What is so significant of these statistics? Prior to release Adele announced that her new album would not be available on any subscription services, meaning you would have to buy it if you wanted to listen to it. People on monthly subscription services aired their discontent on social media but actually it probably fuelled the fire to engage people to go out and buy the album. Heck, there was even queues at HMV.
But what does this stance mean for future album releases and subscription services? It shows a weakness in the subscription model. The subscription model does not pay artists a fair share versus the potential earnings they might make from an album sale. Just think, there is no way Adele would have earned as much if she had allowed her new album to be available on subscription music services.
Do you think it was fair of Adele to ban 25 from being available from music subscription services?
Amazon has been selling across its own store and at other retailers it’s Amazon Fire 7 tablet at a reduced price from £49.99 to £34.99.

Apple made a big point at just how good its new 12mp sensor was on the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. I have taken a variety of footage, both video, photos and timelapse and below is a selection of what was possible.
Please allow a few minutess for all the photos to appear if they do not appear straight away. Click on all footage to gain access to the original version.
Timelapse Mode – Impressive as taken on a windy day too which meant iPhone 6S Plus was moving on tripod.
