Here it goes:
for the last 8 years or so I am using my trusty Nikon D50, a very nice SLR with some good features. And some years ago I invested in a Telephoto lens also.
Now there are certain hot pink, almost fluorescent colored Orchid blooms. I tried and tried using every setting on that camera to get that correct shade. Ambient light, a white paper in front of the flash, whatever. I would snap 50 pictures to get perhaps 1 good shot.
I bought myself an IPad Air somewhere this Winter. The Potinara Red Heart 'Neptune' was blooming again around that time so I had to try the built-in camera.
I took 1 picture!!!! And there it was, absolutely spot on color. I couldn't believe my eyes!! This one was super difficult to capture with my Nikon.
I still use my Nikon, but only for tiniest blooms using the Macro setting and perhaps some shots of birds with my Telephoto lens. That IPad Air is taking pretty decent shots.
