Once again I am throwing myself at the feet of the NYCA collective genius. But first a story........
I visited Guadalajara, MX a year and a half ago to visit family. I had a free morning so I went off to the airport to see what I could see. After a "conversation" with one of the locals I went down a road with pot-holes the size of Volkswagons and everyone that was walking was carrying a machete. Not to be discouraged I continued on and pulled into the walled complex that had a 1 story building overlooking the main runway. After a "conversation" with the owner he said sure, I could stand on the flat roof and take pictures. So I ended up in the spotting location of a life time but with typical Guadalajara conditions; hazy, smog, fog, smoke, etc. I shot for a couple hours and left biding farewell to my new friends.
Time passes.
Upon my return to the States I was troubled to find that the 70-200 +1.4x TC that I shot was miss-focusing rather badly. I have since dialed in +10 on the micro-adjust.
Time passes. I join NYCA meet great people, get some tips. My post-processing skills progress, but before I tackle these alone I thought I would ask for guidance regarding, high-pass filters, haze reduction and ?
The question is; Can any of these be saved? I shot jpeg and fullsize images are here;
