Like for example, in this shot: Since you will be shooting digital anyway......... The first shot I looked at from the above URL has everything I hate about polarizers in it. But I digress. I would just shoot the darned thing and use some of the Photoshop tools to adjust the sky to what I want. Perhaps the magic wand tool to select the sky, then some levels and curves corrections to bring it to where you want it. If your a Christian girl, pray for clouds..... William Robb
