I'm reading this on Tuesday (UTC +1100) so here goes...

I find that shots which were obviously taken on hot summery days look
unnatural to me without a polarizer. The reason, I think, is that
I almost never venture out in high summer without Polaroid sunglasses.
That's the way I live and the way things look to me. The only
filters I have ever used are polarizers and UV filters. I don't
like graduated ND's, warm-ups or skylight filters.
