I use two linear polarizers to create false color IR photos with a  
digital camera. On a SLR just rotate both filters until all visible  
light through the viewfinder is gone. Clear skies are the most  
beautifully deep and highly saturated blue. Foliage is usually pink.  
Interesting shots. I use a circular for everything else though.
