Delete button for some photos in the moments tab is disabled

Several of my photos after the ios8 update are unable to be deleted. I select them but the trash button is disabled. If I open them individually the trash button is not there in the bottom right. Please help. very annoying.

Those are usually photos that were synced to your device from your computer using iTunes. They can only be removed by syncing them off again. Either uncheck the entire folder (windows) or event (iPhoto on a Mac) that they belong to and sync again to remove all the photos from the folder/event. If you only want to delete some but not all of them, delete them from the folder/event on your computer and sync again and those photos will be removed.
