Polarizing filter may get rid of reflections from the sea, but then it would darken the scene for each frame differently. On the whole I would do this sort of photography at the sharpest aperture for the lense with only a UV filter on.One thing to note is the lense distortion. If it is simple barrel or pincushion, it is easily rectified in post, but if it is "mustache" as is the case in many fast primes, then it is difficult. So choose a lense which has least (or no) geometric distortion and is sharp across the field at the desired F stop.</blockquote>
