Visual Artefacts
Nov. 13th, 2020 02:12 pmI thought I would write a quick addendum to my earlier post today.
I don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but one of the side-effects I get from those shots in the eye is that 2/3 of them have left a visual artefact in the form of a black blob floating in my vision. The first one left a bunch of black spots that eventually merged into a single big one. The last one was fine, but today I have a single, fairly large blob floating around in my vision.
I described it to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
atara in detail the last time, but it occurred to me today that the effect would be easy to recreate in a photo editor.
This is a very good representation of how it looks. If you can imagine this floating around in your vision, you might understand why I find it a bit distracting.
We stopped at Black Pearl Coffee on the way home from my appointment to restock on beans. While I was making some selections, I commented to the woman behind the counter that the smell inside their shop was worth the price admission. I said, "But I guess olfactory fatigue has set in to the point where you barely notice it."
She said, "Nope. It smells every bit as good to me as it probably does to you!"
She noticed the roasts that I was buying and mentioned that I would probably like the one that they were currently roasting. She excused herself for a moment, and returned with a bag they'd just finished filling from the roaster.
Doesn't get much fresher than that.
