This is the photo my camera got right before the lens was destroyed by the rocket plume, my first time successfully triggering a camera remotely using the sound from the rocket engines. [OC]

Nice! Which launch complex? Do you know the launch? Its gorgeous
After trying and failing to get photos remotely for the first New Glenn launch in January, this shot feels like a bit of redemption. Even though it completely destroyed my camera lens (acid completely coated it and pitted the lens, and no I couldn’t use a filter) this was a 10/10 photography experience and I plan to do it again the next chance I get.
To see the destroyed lens check it out (along with other space/launch photos on my [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/cosmic_background/?hl=en)
