 TIP: To darken the skies and to remove reflections off of rocks and foliage, I occasionally use a polarizer. Optimum polarization is when the light source is 90 degrees from the direction you are pointing your camera, i.e. side lit. But when the sun is directly in front or in back of the direction your camera is pointed, it renders no effect at all.
