Default Filter question.

I'm heading back to Jasper in a couple of days. The last time i was there I hardly got a decent mountain shot because of this blue haze that always seems to be there. If you are wondering what i'm talking about, just hop on google earth and look at the shots around jasper to see what i mean. I was wondering if there was a filter of some kind that takes care of that kind of thing?

A polarizing filter is one of the better ways to cut through haze and deepen the blue in the sky. Also shooting during the golden hours (two hours after sunrise and two before sunset) of the day will help this issue when shooting landscapes.

A CPL helps with blue haze a little round mountains.. From what I can see, Jasper is no different to most mountains, and the haze is something you have to live with.. Personally I use it.. In the evening it turns a pinky purple and makes everything incredible..

The blue haze also adds depth to your pictures, making the closer objects less blue means your pictures look less flat..

Don't fight it, work with it.

I was hoping to get some nice sweeping panoramas, but i know that the valleys there are so wide that the haze just takes over.
