You`ll also have to concern about the exposure. If the sky is overexposed,
it will be white no matter about the polarizer. Well, the polarizer helps a bit
keeping the sky apart from being overexposed, but sometimes a 
neutral-gray-scale-filter (is it called like that?) is more helpful.

Ahm, do you use b&w, color-print or slides???
