Leaving the city that I’ve called home my entire life and the people who have defined everything I am was one of the most uncomfortable decisions I’ve ever had to make. But this wouldn’t be the first time I’ve chased discomfort in my career.&lt;br/&gt;
.&lt;br/&gt;
I wrote about my ongoing pursuit for discomfort this morning in hopes of inspiring others to do the things that scare and challenge them this year. You can find the link in my profile.&lt;br/&gt;

Happy 2017! 🍾&lt;br/&gt;

A ton of faded blacks and, believe it or not, a subtle green tint (unknowingly inherited from the preset I was using at the time). Re-editing it now, I’m happy with the way my style has evolved, though I can already sense that I’m on the brink of evolving it again. And I’m okay with that. 🐛 (at London, United Kingdom)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://blog.verneho.com/post/155069293049</link><guid>https://blog.verneho.com/post/155069293049</guid><pubDate>Wed, 28 Dec 2016 08:09:35 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>I just realized that I can export my entire story all at once...</title><description>&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ff1545fefb94a6ce752d456a39bf938/tumblr_oiv6jt3s3u1rj37d7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I just realized that I can export my entire story all at once now, which means uploading my tutorials to my Facebook page will be a million times easier (it was tedious to stitch all the individual clips together before). 🎉&lt;br/&gt;

.&lt;br/&gt;
Thank you to all those who participated in my preset giveaway this week! The support makes all the hard work and extra effort worth it!&lt;br/&gt;
.&lt;br/&gt;
Without further ado, the randomly drawn winners of my custom Lightroom presets are @l9lee @rchellau @bokeh.jay! Congrats and check your DMs soon for details! 🎁&lt;br/&gt;
.&lt;br/&gt;
You still have until tomorrow to grab my presets (which this shot was edited with) for 50% off! They’ll be going back to regular price after so don’t miss out! 💸 (at Toronto, Ontario)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://blog.verneho.com/post/154940610254</link><guid>https://blog.verneho.com/post/154940610254</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Dec 2016 12:14:57 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Preset (Everyday) + transform + exposure + graduated filter +...</title><description>&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/eb57ee7d03191ad51000689d5448459d/tumblr_oip8lySbvI1rj37d7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Preset (Everyday) + transform + exposure + graduated filter + radial filter. If shots like this take more than 2 minutes to edit, it’s probably not worth editing. ⏱&lt;br/&gt;

It was spontaneous, serendipitous, and simply beautiful. ☂️&lt;br/&gt;
.&lt;br/&gt;
The edit: After applying my preset (I used Clean for this one), I bumped up the exposure and desaturated the yellows/oranges a bit. As a finishing touch, I used a graduated filter to brighten the top a bit and a radial filter on @sllychn to brighten and sharpen the focal point. That’s it! ✨ (at Toronto, Ontario)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://blog.verneho.com/post/154848644764</link><guid>https://blog.verneho.com/post/154848644764</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Dec 2016 08:12:04 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>And while we’re in the process of missing European...</title><description>&lt;img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/12d377fd7b7d9a0b9b2089392b45ab90/tumblr_oilybcsY9t1rj37d7o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;And while we’re in the process of missing European architecture… 🌀&lt;br/&gt;
