The cells in your eye where that light hit the hardest have basically been spent and it can take a few seconds for them to recoup. Usually, not all your photoreceptor cells fire when light hits a certain area of your retina. They work kinda like the cylinders of a car (one after another), so that there is always a cell ready to sense light and let you see. However, extreme or intense light, like the flash of a camera, can make many cells fire at once, so you have a blind spot with no cells available to sense light. That blind spot shows up as a spot in your vision.
