Ahhh, I took your advice and did a few tweaks, which you can see in the link below. Is there anything specific that I could do either post or pre processing to avoid that haze? Or is it just something you need to play around with until it disappears?

You can use multiple images set at different EV's to make one HDR that should solve your problem.

So if your shadows are at -3 and your highlights are at 3

Eg. Take a bracketed shot 3 bracketed at -3 -2 -1 then another 3 bracketed shots at 1 2 3.

When you're done bring your 6 images into your HDR processing app and process it.

In the book Art and Fear, the author tells a relevant story, one which has convinced me to focus more on just taking pictures than attempting to make any single picture 'perfect'.

>The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the "quantity" group: fifty pound of pots rated an "A", forty pounds a "B", and so on. Those being graded on "quality", however, needed to produce only one pot -- albeit a perfect one -- to get an "A". Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the "quantity" group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes -- the "quality" group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.

I use this Manfrotto tripod with this RRS head and the combination works extremely well for what I do. Manfrotto is manufactured to be a lower quality and more affordable alternative to the pricier Gitzo brand manufactured by the same company. That said, you won't get Gitzo quality from a Manfrotto, but the higher end ones do stack up extremely well. The lower end models are still many times better than anything you can pick up at the local Best Buy. I've had no issues from mine and I know a number of people using the 190 series models with excellent results. So yeah, great choice to start in my opinion.
