I'll check Picassa out on the Linux laptop when I get back. For killing haze and bringing out color... In Photoshop, use Auto Color or Auto Levels, or adjust the levels manually. Experiment around in that menu. There may be similar controls in Picassa. Not sure. As for shooting, do your best to sit on the shady side of the plane. Makes a huge difference. Thanks, Ron.

There's a <a href="http://picasa.google.com/linux/" rel="nofollow">Linux version of Picasa</a> in Google Labs. I'm not sure if it supports the geotagging with Google Earth like the Windows version does (I haven't got a Linux machine to test it on), but since there's a Linux version of Google Earth I don't see why it shouldn't. I'm looking forward to even more photos. I'd be interested to know what you do to filter out haze or improve the contrast. My airphotos have never looked as sharp as yours. Not so, Doc.

Downloading it now in Xtreme slow motion here in a London hotel. And good to see you, Ron. Also the photos. Unfortunately, Picassa is one of those annoying Google programs that only runs on Windows. By the way, watch for some of the descriptions I'll be putting up on some of my latest aerial shots. Curious to get your reactions. Thanks for the Stellarium tip, Richard.

Ron Hi Doc,

I geotag all my photos in Google’s Picasa before uploading them to Flickr – I’ve got north of 4000 geotagged photos up there so far. Here are a couple of how to guides for this process.
