Not with my camera, the Olympus E-10 has a aiming dot, the focus is where the
dot is. My aiming point was actually downtown Phoenix but its so small your
can't see it in the picture.
Its actually just pretty hazy there from higher altitudes, SoCal is the same
way.

This picture I took over Oklahoma, I was at 8500 ft I think, it has the wing in
it but the colors are good. I could touch it up with photo shop but it would
take the natural look from it.

I actually prefer flying over the midwest area, flying was great, there are
actually things to see, not like the desert, where it all starts to look the
same.

There is allot less color to see on this side of the country.
We use an the Olympus E-10 digital camera for pictures.

One thing I've found makes a HUGE difference with digital photography is to
NOT get the wing in the picture. My digital autofocus usually locks onto the
wing, and makes everything else in the background (which is what you're
aiming at!) look fuzzy.

Also, Photoshop does a much better job of adjusting color, brightness and
contrast if you don't have a big, white wing in the picture.
