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.

Those were the good days weren't it? I heard Thailand has started to open up now, if you're fully vax, you don't need to QT. Hopefully other countries to gradually open up as well.
I would be fine with the first in person Hivefest being back in Thailand. It was such an amazing time. It is cool to see that Thailand is starting to open back up, but it is crazy traveling to other countries right now, especially with the need for a negative Covid test to get back into the US. When we went to Cabo back in July, my wife got sick during the last few days we were there and we were so worried that she would get stuck in quarantine if she tested positive for Covid. Luckily it wasn't Covid, but it isn't something we want to chance again.
I second having a hive-fest in Thailand. It's been a hot minute since I've been back there, and your photos have me yearning to make a return.
I miss the people. They were so nice and genuine there.
@derangedvisions what is Liketu for? It's not a normal front end for the hive chain. Can you place pictures here besides your posts on Peakd?
Liketu is a new front end for Hive. It is more photography based than the other front ends. You can check this post out for more info or just go to liketu.com

Just found the post, and reading it thanks for the quick reply! 👍
No problem man. I hope you give it a try and give some feedback ideas so they can improve. Liketu has some serious potential to bring a lot of people to the blockchain.
Really cool photos mate! I miss Thailand, it was such a cool place and the food was incredible! I was there for 24 days, and every day I had a different Pad Thai 🤣
Thanks man. The food there is amazing isn't it? Way better than the Thai food they make here in the US. Everything just seemed so much more fresh and the vegetables had so much more flavor.
Que imagines maravillosas, la Tailandia es un país que me fascina, tengo un tío que vive allí desde hace ya muchos años en la isla de Kon Samui. Espero de poder ir a visitarlo pronto. Gracias por compartir tus fotos.
I dream of visiting Thailand. This is truly a magnificent and unique country. Cool and unique photos. Each of these photos is a joy to the eyes. Thanks!
