Fantastic image and interesting usage of filters. I am interested in usage of filters with landscape. To learn, may I ask how do you decided to use it? I mean, you observe the light? Or how did it came to you to use the filter? Thanks in advance!

Bump for this thread.
Tessar T* f/2.8 - 45 mm C/Y -|- f/8 -|- Glimmerglass 1 filter -|- 2-shot pano
This lens has some field curvature, so infinity focus in the center of the frame at f/8 is slightly in front of the infinity hard stop.
Thanks! The filter was a bit of an accidental necessity. I'd been making some test shots with it in the house, when I saw the sunset outside would make a nice photo. Since the light can change so fast here, I decided to just leave the filter on. I didn't do a shot without the filter to compare, but it likely reduced the contrast of the image and opened up the shadows a bit. Sharpness was probably softened slightly.
