Eclipse & Blender
2024-04-16 19:231) Learning Blender. Finally, my complete and total inability to play with "normal" camera controls in video games is coming in handy. It's all inverted here, babey!
2) Trying to find an opening in the clouds from which to view the total eclipse and ending up all the way in Nowhere, Ohio was a fun adventure. I don't remember the 1990s movie Twister very well, but I think it was a bit like that.
3) Like I told Cosmic... the eclipse itself looked a lot like Cosmic's artwork.
4) I definitely strained or injured my good eye and got an immediate migraine from viewing said eclipse. I was the only person in my group with any problems, so I'm at a loss as to what went wrong. No holes in my vision so I doubt it's permanent retinal scarring, but it gets tired focusing on distant objects and when I look at the moon for example, I see the moon, and another, fuzzier moon, overlaid slightly to the right. So sharpness is definitely suffering considering I used to see the moon very clearly. Best I can tell, my body just didn't react well to that amount of light, even if I took all the same precautions as everyone else. Eyesight anxiety is exactly why I didn't join my family to go chase the 2017 solar eclipse, but I just couldn't help myself this time. Realllllly wanted to see it. Once was enough. (Edited to add: It's getting better! But it was scary for a while.)
