The bane of digital cameras is their inability to see the color purple. What makes this so bad is that it's not consistent! Sometimes camera sees it perfectly but most of the time purple comes out blue. So I start fiddling with the settings .. the ones for daylight, cloudy, incandescent etc. I have found that by changing the settings that sometimes the color purple comes out true. Oddly enough, if I set mine to flash setting but don't use the flash that camera obliges with the true color - occasionally.
The first picture is of Clematis rooguchi with normal daylight settings - not the true color. The second picture is with the camera set on flash but flash was not used - true color. The pictures are of the exact same flower taken within minutes of each other.
Who knew digital cameras could be so schizophrenic!
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
