Serious question, does anyone else zoom in on noise artifacts?
Last month at a meetup in Austin, this older guy pointed at my screen and said "you missed a spot." He was talking about the faint pattern noise in the dark sky of my Orion photo. I always just looked at the stars and nebula. He made me check every pixel from then on.
The guy was DEAD right though. Now I can't unsee it. Every dark sky shot I take I'm pixel peeping like a maniac. Found a whole gradient in my milky way shot from three years ago that I never noticed before. It's ruined me.
