As a P.S., I use my circular polarizer (a Tiffen) whenever I can. It's great for fall foliage shots, because it eliminates a good portion of the reflected sunlight from the leaves and consequently lets more of the colors be seen. Same with the sky colors. There were times shooting the Kodiak brown bears when the conditions would have permitted, I wished I had one mounted, but the speed of the action wouldn't let me stop shooting and screw one in place. I'd definetly get one even if you don't use it on your Alaska trip. Post some photos when you get back, and good luck and good shooting. - EdM
