One of my favorite things to capture "on film" (I don't use a film camera any more, but I can't think of a digital equivalent... "on sensor"?) are landscapes with bright blue sky and puffy clouds. Add water to the mix and compositions (at the correct angle to the sun) will scream for a polarizer. In fact, I've been finding that if I have blue sky + clouds + water (or any two of these three), I just leave the polarizer on. In such a scenario there's always enough light not to worry about the polarizer blocking one or two stops of light.
The images below were all taken with a polarizer and all but the stone tower were taken at ISO 200 (base ISO on the E-M1). The stone tower was mistakenly shot at ISO 1000 which was entirely unnecessary.
Pursuant to my last post, I find that only 5 of the 16 images below were left "untouched" at the Olympus' native 4:3 aspect ratio. The other 11 were cropped to 3:2, which is my preferred aspect ratio for landscapes.
