Dead Sea
2019 Israel. This picture is a technical challenge. Red haze and particles are a known problem in long distance naval photography. Usually the fix is either Kodak 87B IR filter or UV haze + Dark Red as 49. This problem is significantly bigger when photographing the lowest point on earth. The haze is much thicker and the red haze is like a thin layer or dust all over. If one is aware of its existence, it becomes visible to the naked eye. After taking the photo ( with a graduated ND to reduce the brightness reflecting off the white salt) I tweaked the white balance to remove as much redness then, I increased the clarity slider. The intent was to show the salt formations and the vastness of the dead sea. Camera nikon D800E with a 24-120mm f4 zoom lens@f16 ; tripod and graduated ND;
