Hey experienced photogs...........

I have a used Nikon D90 probably 5 or 6 years old. Yesterday I'm shooting pics, using RAW format and a polarizer with a 18-105? lens and all of a sudden the shots have a decidedly blue tint. I have not a clue as to why this might be occurring. Do you? It just started right in the middle of my taking pics. Color me puzzled...............

sometimes if you use a polarizer with a wide angle you get weird tints from the different angles

The polarizer is going to go a bit blue on you any way.
In this case, it would seem that the underexposed foreground is greatly exaggerating the effect.
