Before and After Wednesdays #64

Follow me on Twitter / Be my friend on Facebook

Got another B&A Wednesday! Here are some images from the most recent RPTE to Thailand and Cambodia :)

Sidenote: The next RPTE to Thailand and Cambodia for this January sold out the day I announced it on the blog. So be sure to email me at info@bobbyearle.com with the subject “NEXT RPTE” if you want to get a jump on the next one when I announce it!

All images are edited exclusively in LR with VSCO Film. Since I bought the VSCO pro pack, I haven’t opened photoshop almost ever. This is an AMAZING time saver! There have been so many processing companies out there — some horrible, some decent, some really good — and VSCO Film is the first one I’ve ever used that is truly excellent. Over the last 6 months that I’ve been using it, I’ve been constantly blown away at what VSCO is doing. They recently came out with an iPhone app called VSCO Cam (which has also been blowing my socks off) that I reviewed here. You can see my favorite VSCO Cam images here at our personal blog :)

The images below are the final, processed images. Roll your mouse over any of the images to see the unprocessed original…
