Hi Aaron,
>Surrounding terrain Eric. What causes the camera to pic that up so bad.
I'm not quite sure, but maybe it's the automatic white balance. The EXIF data on your photo says "White Balance 1", which looks like it represents a certain mode - if you are not aware of having ever changed that mode, I'd bet it's "automatic".
Photoshop has a tool for correcting white balance. I'm not sure what it's called in the English version, but it is quite simple to operate - click on an area of the picture that you know should be grey (or white), and the computer will adjust the entire picture.
However ... there seems to be no neutral grey or white in your picture. Graugeist's manual adjustment looks far better than anything I can achieve with the Photoshop tool, so he has proven the superiority of the human mind to computer programming once more!
I haven't personally tried it, but the way to get an accurate colour reproduction would be to do the same shot again, but including a so-called grey chart in the picture, which is just a little card coloured in (you guessed) shades of grey. This can be used to calibrate a colour adjustment - if the chart appears neutral grey, the rest of the colours most likely have been accurately adjusted as well.
(Be warned that I haven't actually tried that myself, and that I don't even know if the dumbed-down-but-cheap version of Photoshop I'm using can transfer colour calibrations from one picture to another, but I think the theory at least makes pretty good sense
If you can switch off the automatic white balance, that will give you consistent results as it won't change from one picture to the next. There will probably be different options what to set the white balance to, such as sunlight, shade, artificial light and perhaps a specific light temperature. Some cameras are capable of calibrating themselves if you point them at a grey chart in the same light you're going to use for shooting - my brother's Nikon D70 did that, and he said it worked like a charm.
