I only spent a few days at Angkor Wat and that was back in the early 1990s. It's one of those places and times that, looking back, I wish digital cameras had existed and I wish I had had more time to explore, and I wish there hadn't been a war that left the area littered with land mines. I also wish consumer GPS had existed back then as well so I would have been able to accurately place this image on the globe.
Back then there were few tourists, less development, less commercialization. The place felt more authentic. Renting a Honda Cub cost a few dollars a day and petrol (gasoline) was dispensed from used soda bottles like 2 liter Coke or Sprite bottles as a means of pre-measuring what you were buying.
This past weekend I downloaded Luminar 4 from Skylum. The image below is my first effort with this new version. Originally a 35mm slide scanned with a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED I first did a little denoise, then converted to black and white and then used a split toning technique to get the image below.
