My digital camera takes quite nice pictures with flash, of course it
took even better pictures when I added a slave flash. That picture

I don't think it is the lighting. Usually you can recover the colors by

Also take a look at the train in the picture, which has the usual colors.
Even the grey doors in the red car seem really grey...
Why would anybody paint his track?
