Re: polarizing filters with b&w infrared

Tom--The point about polarizers and b&w infrared film is that they are not
required to produce black skies and white vegetation. The red and infrared
filters accomplish this quite well by blocking blue light, which a polarizer
does not block. Optimum effects are achieved with these filters, ( including
haze penetration ) and a polarizer will not improve on these results. This is
discussed in a chapter on filters in Kodak's Applied Infrared Photography
book and from personal experimentation.
