Thanks! As always at sea, I used my little secret Wink which is really open secret, all old time film users know it Laughing
simply I put on good quality UV filter, which removes diffusion effect of haze and keeps the original sky colour.
T* coating does the rest Wink
This way, no need for polarizer, which has negative side effect (reduces 3D)

I think I will be investing in some UV filters in the near future. What is the difference between Skylight and UV filters (I used to know this but my memory fails me)?

This is another fine set and it is apt that the final series should be taken at the end of the day.

Abfab, to quote an english TV series. This is one of my all-time favourite lenses and this series certainly reinforces that opinion

Great series. I always have UV filter on but I don't get the blue. Perhaps my UV filter is not of high quality or perhaps my lens is not T*.

Well, UV filter helps... but it can not make miracles Wink you need a very good day to start with, with sunlight and enough wind
to clear from air humidity.
UV is useful at the sea because at the sea it is common to have a diffusion effect caused by water particles suspended in the air. A UV filter helps to cut that UV and keep better colours.

Skylight stops as well UV rays, but also gives a pinkish cast to the picture; to be preferred only if you have to manage against a bluish one Smile

+1
although basically irrelevant on a digital camera, the pinkish cast is disturbing me, so I never use skylight with DSLR.
With film cameras, instead, they can be very useful, in situations where the colour temperature goes above 6500K

Watching your photos, Orio, I can always learn something .....
I like the sky and how you use the light .... Smile

Thanks Daniele!
Position of sunlight, and how it affects the subjects, are things that I take much care of, when possible Smile
