Lens Artists Photo Challenge #369 – Dreamy

Posted in PhotographyTagged , , , , ,

Ann-Christine’s challenge is Dreamy. In her post she asks “So, what is ”dreamy” for you, and how do you create a dreamy picture? According to the dictionary it is ”having a magical or pleasantly unreal quality; dreamlike.” Soft dreamy photography is one that uses soft light, soft focus, delicate tones, and other gentle aspects to produce ethereal pictures. A blurred, or hazy feel is typical to the images – an almost surreal or unearthly effect. “

I chose a few images of foggy conditions because I like the way fog and clouds create a dreamy feeling.

My husband woke me up at almost midnight to see this surreal sunset of Mount Redoubt in Ninilchik, Alaska. I felt like I was still dreaming when I saw it.

  12. Usually I’d kill my husband if he woke me up on purpose but in a case like your example, I’d make an exception!! That was my favorite although all of your images are wonderful and perfect for the challenge.

  13. I bet you are so grateful to your husband for waking you up. I hope to return to Alaska when it is always light. I think that would be fantastic. My favorite photo this week for dreamy is the house that appears to be floating on the Mississippi.

    1. Thanks Donna! Yes, I’m really grateful Henry woke me up to see that once in a lifetime sunset. We loved every minute of being in Alaska. We were RVing on that trip and returned about 10 years later on an inside passage cruise. The house in the fog was in Natchez, Mississippi.
