Night Lights' Perspective from Someone with Astigmatism | Night Photography #17

avatar

Hello dear Hivers! 💖 Hope you're having a wonderful day ✨

This photo is a glimpse into how the world can appear with astigmatism, especially at night. From the front passenger seat, the city lights aren't just sharp points but streaks and starbursts. The red taillights of the cars in front also stretch into vertical lines, and even the streetlights above take on a diffused, radiating effect. It's also why I have such difficulty seeing signs clearly and absolutely need my eyeglasses when I'm out at night.

It’s a striking visual representation of how light scatters when seen with astigmatism, making familiar city scenes look beautifully abstract and dreamy, like painting with light. It’s a unique and beautiful perspective, capturing how vision can transform everyday scenes into something artistic; reminding us that even imperfections can reveal unexpected beauty.

”...even imperfections can reveal unexpected beauty...”
I like that statement @wanderelle. There seems to be a different kind of beauty at night when light illuminates spaces, buildings, streets, roads and things. The sight looks beautiful. And even things not really wonderful could seem so, like you said.

!INDEED Now in addition to astigmatism, add a cataract into the picture and that scattering of light intensifies and unfortunately, over time, colors diminish as well.

I always loved the way Christmas tree lights look with astigmatism. Very pretty!

Thanks for sharing sis and have a lovely day!

Sounds interesting, it's like the bokeh effect 😮 And yes, Christmas tree lights are very good example because the lights are compacted in one place ✨ Thanks for sharing your awesome ideas sis! 💖 Have a wonderful day 💕🤗
