Polarizer Filter Polarizer

Neutral Density Filter? or Polarizer?
OK. Someone once told me that for all landscape photography, a circular polarizer should be used? What are the benefits to using one. I thought these are just used to take the relections out of glass, water.
Also, what exactly is a neutral density filter used for?? As far I can tell, If I mave a maximum shutter speed of 1000. I have 400 speed film in my camera, and if it is a very bright day, and I am taking a picture of a mountain goat for example..the camera might set the aperture at f8. But to be creative, and since I can't set my shuuter speed and higher, I use a 3X density filter to bring me down to f 2.8 so i get a nice blurred background..Is that the Idea?? Does it have any other uses?? Also Is a graduated neutral density filter different??
Thanks
I have a polarizer and a 4ND filter in my kit when I am out shooting.
You are correct about both.
The circular polarizer is for use with auto-focus lenses (they work fine on non-AF lenses as well). They used in landscape photography to darken the sky and make the clouds stand out. They work best at 90 degrees to the suns position on its arc through the sky.
I use ND filters to all me to shoot long exposures in the sun. I like to shoot at 1/8th or 1/15th of a second while panning fast moving objects (race cars, runners, bikes, etc.)

77mm Circular Polarizer Filter $229 Polarizing filter enhances picture quality by blocking harmful reflected light. Use it to reduce polarized light reflections from glass and water surfaces or to improve color saturation. Simple to use, circular polarizing filters (such as Canon's 77mm Circular Polarizer Filter) polarize light circularly, rather than linearly, so it does not interfere with autofocus or TTL light metering. |

DSLR Tips: Using polarizing filters
Would a polarizer filter be one you keep on your lens ALL the time? ?
I am getting into advanced photography. I just bought a bunch of cannon L lenses. I am getting good quality UV filters, B + W brand.
I do lots of pictures involving water as well, waterfalls, streams, etc. I know I need a polarized filter for those shots. Other then removing glares and allowing to see into water/glass, will it change the overall picture vs UV lens?
Bottom line, for shots I need a polorizer, is getting a UV lens and polarized lens a waste when can just use polarized or will the polarized lens change the pictures.
The polariser will add more saturation to your photographs, whereas a UV filter shouldn't. Your exposure times will also be a lil' longer too.
