Photographers all know about polarizing filters. They remove reflections off the surfaces of objects. We use them to see into water or windows that are obscured by those reflections. But anything with an even slightly glossy surface has a layer of reflection on top. So if you have a shiny green plant, it can remove the shiny and reveal a very saturated green underneath. Polarizers also remove a lot of scattered and reflected light from the sky. Which reveals a deep blue color you didn't even know was there.
Here is a photo I took of my circular polarizer.

And the first thing I noticed when walking outside during the eclipse was the color of everything was more saturated, just like in that circle. Apparently, an eclipse significantly reduces polarized light and I got this creepy feeling because I was only ever used to seeing the world like that through the viewfinder of my camera.
The other thing I noticed was my outdoor lights. I leave them on all the time because I never remember to turn them on at night. And usually the sun will render them barely visible during the day. On a very sunny day they almost look like they are off.

But you can clearly see they are shining and even flaring the camera during the eclipse.
Our eyes adjust to lighting changes very well so it was hard to tell how much dimmer things were, but that is a good indication. I took this photo a few minutes ago and you can see how dim the lights appear after the moon has fucked off.
Tumblr media
I did a calculation using the exposure settings between these two photos. The non-eclipse photo has 7 f-stops more light. That is 128 times or 12,700% more light.
A partial Pringle eclipse cut the sun's light by 99.2% and somehow our eyes adjusted to make it seem like a normal sunny day (with weird ass saturated colors).

The first time Magnus and Abigail ever heard Gideon speak was when Harrow was making everyone participate in a coffee shop AU where she gets hit on by Gideon as a barista

*cries about combs*
ChengQing papercraft commission for @theleakypen! I love… them….. aaaaaaaaa
Just! The what-ifs! The mutual fierce dedication to their families and to their intrinsically opposing duties! The recognition of that in each other! The respect therein! Their eyes meeting in silent acknowledgment that this unspoken Thing could have existed between them (she took the comb!!!) but not in this world (she gives it back!!!!!!). I just. I’ve been in this fandom for like a year and a half and I’m still going feral over it
Anyway, I tried to pour some of that into this piece! Got some Extreme Hand-Holding and Intense Yearning Gazes for y’all.
