Call me an idiot, but I learned something this week... When i got my first decent 35mm camera, I purchased a graduated polarizer for it. I didn't use it much since the autofocus always rotated it for me and i kept having to reset it after the focus.
I purchased a circular polarizer. (luckily, my sony uses the same 58mm threaded filters that my Nikon 35m does).
What I learned that I did not know is that you can change the level of polarization by rotating the circular polarizer. I don't know how or why it works, but it works!
Thanks to Kevin Adams for enlightening me on this... Stop by his site and look at his outstanding waterfall photography if you get a chance... He visited our camera club last week and did a presentation and 'how to' session with us...

A polarizing filter works on the principle of only allowing light travelling in a certain direction through the filter. Hence, the use of the word polarize in the filter's name.
Here's a good description
