Moon photos!

Conspiracy theories abound! hahaha Actually if you look at the front tyre right side below the gold camera you can see a tyre track heading rear and to the left. There is also a horizontal set of tracks between the astronaut and the rover, well behind the astronaut lol. I remember the movie "Capricorn one" and the recent,, well within the last decade,, conspiracy theory about not going to the moon. It does make for good conversation.

Looks in that way to me.

Wasnt having a crack at you personally, just one of those broad general things.

Yes love good conspiracy.

I have read of amateur radio operators using their gear to listen to the signals from Apollo missions. This requires pointing high gain antennas at the moon. Not much point if they weren't there

MMMmm Maybe they had a repeater installed on the moon

And back to the thread - there is absolutely 1000's of similar images on that site - so they must have had a big set to fake them all.

As for photshopping this may have been a little difficult in 1972 when that photo was published - perhaps hand painted changes were available but I think that would show.

Mythbusters did a good show on Moon Conspiracy Theories. They recreated a moon scene to demonstrate how the shadows don't have to be parallel and also why the flag can be seen to wave in some shots.

It's a mosiac of a least 2 photos. Probably avoiding pointing lens directly at the sun.

I've heard there are still a couple of Hassleblad's still on the surface (Not sure if you could still get film for them though

Of course you can still get film for them, they are a 6x6cm frame size and use 120 format film which is still extensively used in professional photography as well as by amateurs.
