Peter - yup, I used a circle polarizer. It works best when you're facing 90 degrees from the sun, but this was taken with the sun at my back. Your polarizer should have a ring that twists independently of the part that screws onto the lens. Twist it around and you'll notice the sky get darker. Water reflections will be less pronounced too. They're great filters to have, and I'll have to buy a new one for my new Sigma 18-200 lens.. I'm expecting it any day now!

Took delivery of a polarizing filter yesterday, got any tips? Did you use a filter to get the sky so deep blue or was it a Gimp job? Took delivery of a polarizing filter yesterday, got any tips?
