There are many new features available to you in iOS 8 in the Photos and Camera apps. When you're viewing an individual photo, one nice new feature is the ability to designate it as a favorite. Then those photos that you've identified as favorites are automatically collected into an album titled Favorites.

To mark a photo as a favorite, simply tap on the heart icon, shown here at the top in the Photos app on my iPad. (I believe it's at the bottom of the photo on an iPhone.)
