Bin dare dunn dat. Three times.

 

That was in 2009.

 

I need a good post processing program to get rid of the haze.

 

This is actually what's left of an apple core after insects ate all of the fruit off of it.

Nice shallow depth of field photos Lint.
How are you posting photos that come up big like that?

 

Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop Elements 14 have a de-haze filter function. Curves also help to punch up CYMK. Shooting on hazy days the light is scattered and even but many times a circular polarizer is a good thing.

Great shots of the Angels.. I can hear the neighbors bitching aboot the noise from here.

 

As BB said you can clean up the haze some in Photoshop but the best thing is to use a polarizing filter for situations like that. You can't put back lost detail with Photoshop but the filter will keep detail and cut a lot of the scattered light. You loose apx 2-3 stops with one. 90 degrees to the sun is where they work the most. And you need to have one that has a rotating ring the spins one of the elements to get the maximum polarization.

 

Speaking of P51, love the sound of them on the prop.

 

Adjusting the white balance to the ambient conditions and shooting in raw will help too. Polarizers are magic..
