Why are photos always so washed out when shooting from afar and how can I fix this?

what do you mean by "washed out?"

With long distances, you will normally see a lot of haze. Not sure if there is a way to eliminate it but I like the photo just the way it is.

I love the photo as well. And by washed out I mean having a white tint and losing color. The effect does give a pretty nice touch to the photo. Although, I think the "washed out" look is created by the humidity.

Yes sir. I think the composition is wonderful and interesting.

Heat, humidity & pollution. There's very little you can do. In certain circumstances a CPL may help, and there's a bit you can do in post, but basically, it is what it is.

Great perspective!! I have some from El Salvador as well. A very photogenic country to shoot from the air:

Think I know where this is, Playa de la Libertad? u otro lugar?

 

[ruifo]

Yes, Playa de la Libertad, while landing at RWY 07 / MSLP Airport

Nice waves, but you have to jump right on top of them to get a rush, just when they break, and they will carry you to the beach, but I prefer "Costa del Sol" La Libertad esta muy sucia.
