Where am I going wrong though? I have seen other people with the iPhone 6 do better pictures than me? And 5s.

Even if you were the finest photographer ever, and posessed the best calibrated telly, there would still be of little interest (or use) in looking at photos of it. (Even then you can't control the hundreds of monitors we are all using, or guess at everyone's taste in brightness/contrast/colour/gamma/sharpness etc.)
 
Check out this guy photos of Sin City:

How can I get pictures like that? In the dark pictures go all weird on my iPhone! Am I not using the right settings? I just click on the camera and click away, what do others do?

On my laptop I am using at this point in time they do not look impressive, on my PC with a calibrated monitor they look OK.

You just cannot tell from a picture of a picture.

Ah okay, well I have taken a few more.

I think I have worked out where I am going wrong, new and better pictures tomorrow. *good*

My iPhone 6s is broken! Woke up this morning and turned it on and it will not turn on, tried charging it and nothing. I will try and do my new technique with the iPad Pro instead.

Yes, do that instead of getting your new iPhone fixed.

My sister is at work and she has the Costco membership where I got it from. Which iPhone do you recommend for me Chebby? Clearly the cameras make no difference. I keep running out of storage on 8gb, so what about the iPhone 5s 16gb, 32gb or iPhone 6 16gb? I don't think I need 64gb or the iPhone 6s to be honest, and I don't like the way the camera works on the 6s, it keeps trying to film instead of just taking pictures. Cheers.

It sounds like you have the "Live Photos" feature switched on. Next to the HDR icon there will be a circular button, if you tap that it should say live photos off.

Given that you only need your iPhones and iPads to take interminable photographs of your television, then I suggest you get a half-decent compact camera instead and save a small fortune.
 
Cheers guys. I think I will keep my iPad 2 and buy the iPhone 6 16gb.

So what happens to iPad Pro then? What if you run out of space with 16GB iPhone?
I will take the iPad Pro back tomorrow (I think). Yep 16gb storage is probably not big enough but it is at the moment. If I go onto iTunes on my laptop can I delete the pictures and some music and create more storage?

Yep. The first time of being hospitalised last year prompted me to max out on my iPad Mini 3 purchase and get the 128GB and I did the same with my iPhone 6 too.

This meant that I could get all of my BBC drama/comedy/history and iBooks content onto both devices without making any selections when syncing (and leaving plenty of room for more). It also meant I didn't have to compress any more than the 320K AAC I normally use. (90 percent of it ripped from my purchased BBC CDs so far better than commercially available downloads.)

I am now waiting for Apple to double the capacity of iPad Minis and iPhones to 256GB before considering any future upgrades.
 
Gel, out of mild curiousity, do you ever take photographs of people, of trees, or of the landscape? Or do you take photographs of only your television???

Well done on restricting your self to only two photos in your post #36. But is the second one supposed to be out of focus?? Mind you, your technology is miles ahead of mine - this photo of my 65VT65 was taken on my Nokia mobile phone dating from 2006, of camera only 1.3 MegaPixel, and its lack of sharpness is a function of the low light level in the room, amongst other things. A paused recording on my Humax Freeview HD recorder is a cheap and easy test of screen uniformity ...... For some reason, the aspect ratio of the photograph reproduces wrongly on this site, though is is correct in photobucket.

What's the silver device toward the bottom left corner? It looks like something lifted from an early Ridley Scott film!

It looks good! And the black levels are really good. Just take pictures of my TV and of myself for Facebook.
