Cooper Pedy, South Australia.

After passing through the Woomera Prohibited Area, some 127,000 square kilometres of radioactive wasteland (due to the British nuclear tests between 1955 and 1963), you arrive at Cooper Pedy. Not much to say about the place, the only reason why anyone would want to live there is opals. It's so hot that many people live underground, in caves. This is their church. We didn't stay for lunch...

Certainly a different, if strange, place to live. Nice colours though :)

That sky is such a deep blue! Looks like a harsh place though. However, you present it very well!

Yeah it's strange, just a polarizer and a hint of contrast adjustment and the skies are like this, in fact I think it's too blue--should've maybe left the polarizer home!

I think that the biggest problem with polarisers is the variation of polarisation across the sky in wide-angle photos. Actually, if the angle is wide enough, you don't need a polariser for it to be a problem!

It's a shame though because polarisers are so good for making everything else look amazing...

Ah, yeah, that's a good point, the variations can look weird, although I'm not that bothered about them. Perhaps I shouldn't use a polariser all the time, a simple grad would often be enough...

I like using a polariser as much as I can because of the effect on saturation and highlights... but sometimes it doesn't work so well. It's a trade-off, I suppose, whatever works for each individual photo.
