Eyes that chose to see the unseen

“I believe in the sun, even though it doesn’t shine.
I believe in love, even when it isn’t shown.
I believe in God, even when he doesn’t speak.”

Headphones

Open Back headphones
They are designed to give you a more speaker-like experience, ideal for studio monitoring or for simply listening to tracks. They allow for some of the sound to leak and some ambient noise to seep in, creating an illusion of distance from the sound source.

Closed Back headphones
Closed Back headphones on the other hand have closed "cans" that operate quietly and block out ambient noise. They are ideal for recording because they prevent 'spill' from the headphones through microphones into the current track you're recording, but may not have as much soundscape as Open Back ones.

DJ headphones

DJ headphones are workhorse headphones that are tuned for bass and treble response as well as providing good isolation. They generally have features like swivel earpiece for one ear listening, and a convenient folding structure for portability.

HSL

Hue adjusts the actual colors of the image.  We can adjust how individual colors behave.  This is extremely useful in landscape work, where you can fine-tune the color of greens and blues, for instance, without affecting browns or oranges. This is great for altering foliage and sky, without adjusting sticks, dirt, etc. It also works well if you have a human subject in your landscape: you end up with nice bright foliage and a nice deep blue sky, but your subject can still have nice, normal, subtle and subdued skin tones.

Saturation slider is a huge help when you want to boost a certain colour over another: I often boost blues and greens on landscapes and sometimes bring yellows, oranges, or reds down in portraits to ease skin tones.

Luminosity is something a drastic.  It's minor, but it's there, and it's one of those little touches that will really seal the deal.

The big thing with the HSL Sliders is to try them and experiment: In many cases, you never know what will look good or not unless you just go ahead and try, and dont be afraid to get drastic.

Lens Flare

Lens Flare is caused by strong rays of light directly hitting your lens and causing a slight sun burst.
