Thank you to all that replied...

What I am taking out of it - for good photography I have to wait for the right time (it was not possible in my case). The distance and haze are significant contributors for the effect.

As Jason pointed it is possible to have a separate treatment of the sky with color zones and gradient to desaturated the blue

Once again, I appreciate your thoughts and help.

Regards,

Recently I took some pictures on a higher altitude - Untersbergbahn GmbH. What I noticed is that they have quite a strong blue hue to them. This however is only for the landscape pictures (mountains / valleys) that I took.

I would be surprised if you'd get this working at all. The (IMHO) most important aspect of h.a. photography is the shear distance between you and the subject.That can add up to 50 kilometers or more (as you can clearly see from your mountain pictures). Between you and the subject there are so many moist and dust particles that half of the light is gone, and the other half is distorted. And you don't even get to chose which half you get.

I live in remote flat area with outlook on distant mountains. And I see the same sort of problem. On a sunny, dry summer day "my" mountains are grayish and dull , while after a big storm I have clear vision, with vivid colors for at least 25 kilometers.

My best guess is that successful h.a. photographers simply wait for the best opportunity: such as after a big rain, when the air has been washed clean. Or during winter time, when the air is dry(er).
