Polarizing

Using a Polarizer:

Especially at high altitudes (>3000 Meters) and in sunny places, which is most of the places i travel, i have found that a polarizer often helps to make pictures more vibrant, and increase contrast while reducing glare.

Though the polarized image is a bit dark (it can be lightened), it is a million times better than the non polarized image (right), which lack any detail int eh sky, and has dull colour.

Left, no polarization, right Polarizing lens made the images darker, yet reduced glare, and added detail to the water and sky.
