A few years ago when my wife and I went to Thailand, I took thousands of photos, but only shared a small fraction of them. I recently started going through them again and seeing all of the photos I took and it is crazy how different my editing styles have gotten over the years. It was fun spending time going through these photos here that I had skipped on sharing back and giving them new life with some different editing techniques.
The first photo is from our visit to the Sanctuary of Truth. While editing that one, I used Lightroom's new masking and brush to highlight the front statue and bring up the shadows and the exposure because it was pretty dark and had no details in it. The new brush is pretty cool because it can automatically find different subjects in your photos for you to adjust, but it selected a few different things as well that I needed to subtract from the mask. Once I got the correct thing selected though, it was pretty easy to adjust all the different levels that I wanted to and it only affected the statue.
Thailand is such an amazing country and my wife and I cannot wait to go back once all this Covid nonsense is done and over. We would love to live there one day and call it home. It is a beautiful place full of rich history and amazing things to see. Plus the food is the best.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the photos. I have thousands more that I will be going through and editing. A lot of the photos I have that I have never shared are photos I took that are more of a documentary style or a streetphotography style, so I hope that they turn out cool.
