5 Years is Enough

 Here's, by far, the worst thing to come out of the pandemic; ring lights.  Damn those infernal things!  I'm sure you've seen them.  It's like a head-sized black plastic ring on a stand with a holder in the middle for your phone.  It centers your phone in a harsh and cold ring of LED light, and that's not even its worst problem.  The worst of it is that it makes the creepiest little white circle at the center of your eyeballs which produces some weird kind of zombifying effect.  At best.  At worst it looks makes you look like a cyborg.

I am either being recorded or those things are about to shoot bright blue lasers.

So please, people, lay off the ring lights.  The ring light was originally the domain of dentists.  It's a great light source for super closeup (macro) photography because when you get the camera really close to the subject the lens blocks your light, so having a ring of light on the end of the lens was kind of the perfect solution.  These lights used to be called dental rings.  Now I think they are just called "lights".  It would be best if we just called them off.
