Dear Ali,
The main use of a polarizing filter (PF) is that it removes reflection from surfaces. For example, if you take a shot behind a window much probably some reflections will appear on the glass of the window and as a consequence on your shot. If you use a polarizing filter, this reflection will be removed and you will have the same result as in the case without a glass between your camera and the object of your photo.
I have found this type of filter very usefull in taking shots including water surfaces (lakes, sea). When you take a shot at the sea (without filter) usually the sky is reflected (mirrored) on the water and as a consequence sea and sky have the same colour. Using PF this reflection is removed so sea has a better distinct colour and if the waters are clean and not very deep the bottom is visible. I have uploaded many shots using PF:
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1186225.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1185200.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1184077.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1177839.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1176959.html
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1158823.html
In all these shots, colours have not been edited at all in photoshop. The result can attributed solely on PF. Of course you can read about PF and experiment with it, so you will find many different ideas about how to use it in order to get better results. I am just giving you some ideas.
You can see all these differences in real time when you have a circular PF on your camera, by rotating. In this way you will be able to take the shot you want.
A PF can be attached on any lens. They come in different sizes depending on the diameter of the lens. You can go to a photography shop and they will give you the PF for your lens.
I hope that the above will be of some usefulness to you and not very borring.
Regards,
Michalis

Dear Michalis ! Many thanks for tour kind information. In one of your photos you are talking about an circular polarisation filter for enhancing blue tones. Can you explain me what is this. And is it possible to use it with NikonD70. Best Regards. Salutations.

Michalis, this looks like the end of a peaceful day with the plump sun hanging in the sky for its last moments. I love the palette from silver to blue to red....
