#introduction I’m a retired aerospace engineer, worked on the #Orion / #Artemis program from beginning through the Artemis 2 mission launch, before that 18 years on the Space Shuttle, so I follow #space & #science topics. Also of interest #photography / #travel / #nature / #environment / #art / #geology / #gardening / #politics.

All photos I post - other than boosts of others - are my own © BigBang through 2026, Milian Kurten.

These are from a Nov 2022 trip to Big Bend National Park, #Texas.

@Trilobyter gorgeous pictures. Just out of curiosity, digital or film?

@marcominutoli Digital, taken with a Sony a7r ii. I transitioned to digital around 2005 after 30+ years of film, including the lab & darkroom work. I don’t miss the chemicals.

@Trilobyter Ironically, I just transitioned back to film. I killed my Nikon D80 with a firmware update. Dumb of me. As a computer scientist, I should know better. The final push was my last trip to my parents' where I stumbled on my negatives. My wife is kind enough to allow me to use our laundry room as darkroom. Sooo, I am enjoying the chemicals 😂.
