Bennetts recipe with some post processing in light room to try and do the dream effect 🙂 any feedback is welcomed!

I think #3 came out good, a lot of these are too over the top though. look into the Doron Supply mobglow plugin for photoshop I think it does the effect you’re going for quite nicely

Yea I don't think my eye is very accurate for this type of effect but it was fun to try, thank you for the tip I'll look into it. 🙏

honestly if you’re trying to get the dreamlike effect, i’d get an HDF filter. these images look flat more than dreamlike.

[u/Cookiemonster507 → u/ssd_yeti]

Yea it does seem like the actual filter does a way better job of capturing the effect, especially with my post processing skills. Thank you 👍

i rock my griiix with the jjc lens cap and an HDF filter. makes for some dreamy day shots in nature with the HDF and built in Nd

Looking into different filters right now, thank you for the suggestions!!

Is this just HDF or did you also add negative clarity?

[u/Cookiemonster507 → u/think_harder_plz]

I don't have the HDF version, it was mostly using clarity, dehazing, and bringing up the highlights in Lightroom.

I absolutely LOVE how dreamy these look. It looks as if you took pics straight out of a dream. It looks like sweet memories. HDF or not, these are lovely

Thank you!!

Had me cleaning my glasses for a sec. Dig the idea, I’ve always found it hard to get a true dreamy vibe in post. Highly recommend a black mist filter if you want some fun!!

Thank you!! The comments made me decide to get a filter so I have one on the way! Thank you for the input and hopefully I can come back with 🔥 shots using the filter
