polarizer when making panoramic pictures

[Zed Rafi]

Hello all,

i've got one last (for now) panoramic picture question.
Can i use a polarizing filter when taking the multiple shots for a panoramic
assemblage??? I imagine since the polarizing effect is different according
to the relative directions of the sun and of the lens, it would differ from
shot to shot, and using a polarizer would thus not be appropriate in such a
situation.
I'm kind of answering my own question there, but I was looking at a bunch of
seascape panoramas, and a polarizing effect was very flagrantly enhancing
the pictures. Photoshop perhaps??? Is it easy to add the a polarizing effect
(darkening blue skies and lessening reflections) with Photoshop???

Thanks

Yes, you can use a polascreen. The sky darkening won't occur in all as it
is only effective at the zenith; however, the sky should grade evenly from
one photo to another. The other polascreen effect - that of removing
specular reflections - will work in all shots as it is dependent on the
angle of the light incident on objects.
