It might be best to concentrate on flowers and people then. Under
cloudy conditions, Kodachrome works well with a warming filter, if you
have one. It doesn't improve skies or scenics, but it warms up skin
tones (more of a consideration for Caucasian skin, possibly) and keeps
the greens from looking too blue, etc. Polarizer for blue skies
wherever possible is nice (whereas I skip the POL sometimes with
Velvia or digital). Having said that, I haven't used a POL for any of
my shots yet because so many are handheld and Kodachrome 25 is just so
slow. I'm already shooting a lot at F4 to get a decent shutter speed!
