The light in Australia is extremely bright and clouds and sky can merge into a flat, toneless expanse without a bit of art. I used a circular polarizer quite often while taking drive-by shots. It's worth noticing that the effect was also enhanced by the fact that the car had tinted windows, which cut down on glare.

Great use of the polarizer! I usually just use it for taking photos of things behind glass, or of water - anywhere there's a reflection that I want to cut out or enhance.
Thanks for that tip... useful when photographing shop windows.
I think you had another comment posted, but when I hit the "publish" button only one showed up.
The ghost in the machine...
Nope - both showed up, but the other one went to All Keyed Up. :)
I'm asleep.
Thanks.
This one really cool!
