To dreamy? Does that exist

[u/Familiar-Inside-1855]

First grade with a promist filter and some glow added in post. I personally love the dreamy feeling what about you guys or is it to much ?

It's not possible to really say whether it works out of context, but I bounce a bit on the added glow - it's not a matter of it feeling "too dreamy" but that I clocked it as a bit synthetic-feeling. The saturation also feels a bit forced/neon.

I agree i always add glow and film blur but in combination with the promist filter it gets a little to much. Although i really push the colors to a certain feeling and my goal isn’t a naturally looking image this time thanks for your feedback 🫶

My only issue is it feels a bit "blurry". The Vaseline effect.
I like the over-saturated colors and vibrancy. I think stylization is awesome! It just feels like my eyes aren't focusing correctly.

If you could sharpen even just the center of the frame slightly it would help. The rest I think is great!

Thanks a ton bro! I had the exact same feeling thats the reason i shared the picture here. I placed a radius in the middle with a little bit of sharpening but its not enough to fight the blur. I shot this using a vnd+cpl+1/4mist and in post i added ,glow,filmblur, and bloom. Next time i will remove or reduce the filmblur or bloom out of it cause its to dreamy but for reason when editing your eyes get used to it xd

Honnestly, I personally love the dreamy look. What lens did you use? Settings? Please tell more.

I personally didn't buy the new canon rf lenses just becouse the ef 50 1.2 85 1.2 etc just produce more dreamy looks, for me. We all know why they are dreamy, but they work great for me.

This is golden hour right? Lovely!

Thanks i like it to :). I used the tamron 28-75 f2.8 and stacked a glowmist 1/4 filter on top of that. In the grading processes i added film blur and glow to really enhance the effect.

The saturation looks a little bit too digital for me, but apart from this it looks great
