More Apollo fun facts about photography anomalies from publicly available NASA records. The biggest red flag with the photos is the number of them taken.
The apollo missions brought back 5,771 images captured on the moon. These are only the photos taken on the surface and do not include the crew cab or other photos taken off surface. Apollo 11........... 121 Apollo 12........... 504 Apollo 14........... 374 Apollo 15..........1021 Apollo 16..........1765 Apollo 17..........1986
In the 6 missions, astronauts spent 4,834 minutes on the moon. Apollo 11........1 EVA .....2 hours, 31 minutes......(151 minutes) Apollo 12........2 EVAs.....7 hours, 50 minutes......(470 minutes) Apollo 14........2 EVAs.....9 hours, 25 minutes......(565 minutes) Apollo 15........3 EVAs...18 hours, 30 minutes....(1110 minutes) Apollo 16........3 EVAs...20 hours, 14 minutes....(1214 minutes) Apollo 17........3 EVAs...22 hours, 04 minutes....(1324 minutes)
That is 1 photo every 50 seconds of time on the moon despite having to "drive" to multiple locations, collect many pounds of rocks, 243 in Apollo 17, set up science gear, do experiments, etc. Each picture was taken with a Hasselblad 70mm without a viewfinder, using manual camera settings, taking single exposures at a time with no automatic metering, while wearing a bulky spacesuit and stiff clumsy gloves. And every single one was a banger! Amazing! Any professional photographer older than 40 if this is possible.
Here's all the other stuff they reportedly did while on the moon in addition to those snaps every 50 seconds on average. No, I don't expect you to read it. Why? It's a lot of stuff!
Apollo 11....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment, operate the TV camera (360 degree pan), establish contact with Earth (including ceremonial talk with President Nixon), unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages, find/document/collect 47.7 pounds of lunar rock samples, walk to various locations, conclude experiments, return to LM.
Apollo 12....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment (spend time trying to fix faulty TV camera), establish contact with Earth, unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages, walk to various locations, inspect the unmanned Surveyor 3 which had landed on the Moon in April 1967 and retrieve Surveyor parts. Deploy ALSEP package. Find/document/collect 75.7 pounds of rocks, conclude experiments, return to LM.
Apollo 14....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment and establish contact with Earth, unpack and assemble hand cart to transport rocks, unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages, walk to various locations. Find/document/collect 94.4 pounds of rocks, conclude experiments, return to LM.
Apollo 15....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment and establish contact with Earth, unpack/assemble/equip and test the LRV electric-powered 4-wheel drive car and drive it 17 miles, unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages (double the scientific payload of first three missions). Find/document/collect 169 pounds of rocks, conclude experiments, return to LM.(The LRV travels only 8 mph*.)
Apollo 16....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment and establish contact with Earth, unpack/assemble/equip and test the LRV electric-powered 4-wheel drive car and drive it 16 miles, unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages (double the scientific payload of first three missions, including new ultraviolet camera, operate the UV camera). Find/document/collect 208.3 pounds of rocks, conclude experiments, return to LM.(The LRV travels only 8 mph*.)
Apollo 17....Inspect LM for damage, deploy flag, unpack and deploy radio and television equipment and establish contact with Earth, unpack/assemble/equip and test the LRV electric-powered 4-wheel drive car and drive it 30.5 miles, unpack and deploy numerous experiment packages. Find/document/collect 243.1 pounds of rocks, conclude experiments, return to LM.(The LRV travels only 8 mph*.)
If you believe that NASA sent people through the Van Allen belts in the late 60's until 1972 in tin cans w/o any lead shielding, then I can't help you. Sorry, you are hopelessly lost & a prisoner to NASA's BS.
They're doing it right now just like they did back then.
But sure, Legit Question on LR who also says the Earth is flat and we get through the "firmament" is an expert on radiation in space. LOL!!!!!!!!!
Both of the shots below are composites, they are a panorama of 6 stitched photos (taken on the same day in sequence) on the above image and 4 (taken on a different day in sequence) on the bottom. The original 10 photos are below. These are from Apollo 17.
Many images the use the same background in Apollo photos, but you would not be able to tell from a single image. When you actually piece the series of images together, you end up with an "anomaly." I think we can all agree that the lunar module cannot be in 2 places at once and that it did not "move" once it landed. Hopefully, we all understand perspective and how objects appear relative to their surrounds. This lunar background scene appears in other Apollo mission photos as well, even though they did not land in the same area of the moon.
Great photo! Thanks for posting it. It does look suspicious! However, as an amateur photographer, let me try to explain what happened here and why these are real photos.
These photos were taken with a 60mm lens on a 70mm camera. That's equivalent to a 30-33mm lens on a standard 35mm camera. 30mm is very wide angle. That changes the perspective of the viewer. In the top photo the LM looks to be about 100m away, but that's the effect of the wide angle lens. It is actually much closer... maybe only 30-40m. The camera was probably only about 20m or so closer to the LM in the bottom photo, but the LM appears much larger. Thus, while the LM seems to move a lot, objects in the background barely move at all. However, that's not the big reason the photos look so suspicious.
The real reason is that they are composites. When you make a composite of several photos, you line up features (straight lines, angles, hills) so there isn't a sudden jerk or break in the features where one photo overlaps the other. The logical features to overlap in these photos are the hills in background so you don't have what is called parallax error. If you look closely, you can see that the crater to the left of the LM in the top photo is higher on the left than the right, so it's not the same crater as the one in the bottom photo. If you look at the big hill on the bottom photo, you can see that it is a little taller than in the top photo so you can tell that the photo is taken from a little closer position.
Now, let me be clear, I'm not claiming that every photo in the archives is authentic. I wouldn't put it past some PR guy saying we need some more dramatic photos so they doctored some photos from the training building. I'm just saying that I can see an explanation for the photos and the video I looked at.

Repost from Pablo Novi regarding Van Allen radiation belts:
Late 2014: NASA ADMITS IT CAN'T YET SAFELY GET HUMANS THRU THE VAN ALLEN RADIATION BELTS; but then refuses to release the data citing national security reasons. WHAT national security reasons (other than preventing the blowing of the cover off the Apollo Moon Program HOAX)?
Description accompanying the video: "Bart Sibrel Published on Aug 25, 2015
On December 5, 2014, NASA sent the Unmanned Orion spacecraft to a destination of 3,600 miles above the Earth, to promptly u-turn and return. What is at this important altitude? The "Van Allen" Radiation Belts, a 25,000 mile thick band of Lethal Radiation which surrounds the Earth, beginning at an altitude of about 1,000 miles. (The space station and space shuttle orbit at about 250 miles, safely below this dangerous radiation.)
The purpose of the Orion mission was to send two Geiger Counters into the Radiation Belts and then return them to earth, to see if Radiation Shielding could be developed IN THE FUTURE to protect crews from this Lethal Radiation Exposure, if they wished to SOME FUTURE DAY travel to the moon. When Bart Sibrel asked NASA to provide him, as a Journalist, with the Radiation Readings from the Geiger Counters onboard the Orion spacecraft, he was informed by NASA that this information was "Classified". The question is, if the temperature of the sun, or the amount of helium in Jupiter's atmosphere, is not classified, why would the Amount of Radiation in the Radiation Belts surrounding Earth be classified? After all, these readings are merely a part of nature, and taxpayer funds were used to acquire this scientific data, so why not share this information with the public and scientists?
The reason for keeping these Radiation Readings a secret, is the fact that if NASA shared them, it would prove the Radiation Belts to be too severe for humans to survive passing through them on a trip to the moon. The public might then ask: How then did the Apollo crews survive passing through this admitted "Dangerous Radiation" nearly 50 Years Earlier when they just acknowledged that the technology to do so has YET TO BE INVENTED?
NASA's young Kelly Smith, accidentally admits, on camera, that the technology DOES NOT YET EXIST to protect crews from the "Dangerous Radiation" of the Van Allen Radiation Belts. After this admission, when Sibrel asked to interview him about these remarks, NASA said that Kelly Smith, though once Orion's Spokesman, was no longer available for comment to Journalists.
At 2:48 into the video, Smith begins his admission by saying that the Van Allen Radiation Belts being entered by the Unmanned Orion spacecraft are 15 times farther away from Earth than the space station (yet only 1/66th of the distance to the moon) and therein contain "Dangerous Radiation". The Apollo crews, nearly 50 Years Ago, are the only ones in world history to have Claimed to have gone though this Dangerous Radiation.
At 3:33 Smith admits, "We (NASA) must SOLVE these (radiation) challenges BEFORE we send people through THIS REGION OF SPACE", which they would have to do to reach the Moon. This is an Absolutely Amazing and Unprecedented Admission by NASA. They just acknowledged that the technology DOES NOT YET EXIST to send manned crews through the Van Allen Radiation Belts, which you would have to go through to reach the moon!
The finger of Truth is coming out of the dike of lies."

You're one of the most persistent flat earth posters here, going back a long way.
You're asking us to accept your fantasies as reality and claiming that we are the ones who are lost. Basic physics that even a child can understand.
When I was 8 years old I lived near a port and whenever the sky was clear, I could see ships appearing and disappearing on the horizon. But you think this is impossible.
At what point in your life do you take responsibility for your delusional thoughts and stop trying to project your mental health issues onto everyone else?
Third-party evidence for the Apollo Moon landings is evidence or analysis of evidence about the Apollo Moon landings that does not come from the U.S. government (the first party) or from Moon landing hoax theorists (the secon...
Yes I do BELIEVE NASA faked the moon landings (but wouldn't bet me life on it).
The reasons I believe they faked them are quite a number. Here's a few that stand out to me: 1) All the computer tech they had back then is less than we have now on a calculator - you can't control a 6-9 million part machine with that little.
2) The video of the "final take off" from the Moon seems way too precision (with the capsule within the frame despite the ever-changing acceleration). The would-be camera was supposedly remote-controlled from Earth - just the time delay for the relaying of signals would seem to make that impossible.
3) The quality and content of the photos - taken from cameras attached to their space suits where they couldn't even see precisely what they were looking at.
4) The tiny amount of space within their capsules as compared to the necessary huge amount of space to take all that would have really been needed: lots of batteries (both primary and back-up), a lunar rover ...
5) The totally flimsy looking "walls" (seemingly connected by duct tape).
6) Photos that show parts of the Lunar Module clearly, when they were in the shadows and thus un-illuminated.
7) That the US was well over a decade behind the Soviets, yet "caught up" in just a very few years - while the Soviets never got there. (I don't find it convincing the claim that the Soviets would have exposed the farce - because there are endless examples of the buying off of politicians; if the price is right.)
8) We still don't have anything close to fold-up cars almost 50 years after they supposedly had ones they took to and drove on the Moon.
9) #1: The Van Allen Belts (and beyond) would require manned capsules to be enclosed by thick amounts of lead - something NASA has never claimed they had.
10) Related to "7)" and "9)" above: that no country has sent humans above LOW Earth Orbit since then. I don't buy one bit that there supposedly no reason to go back to the Moon.
Bonus points: NASA supposedly lost almost all the original tapes (cartons and cartons of them) of what was supposedly THE most historic achievement humans ever made. That they didn't have/make copies and lost the only ones seems totally unreasonable. and ... NOT ONE SINGLE PHOTO WITH STARS IN IT! The sky from the Moon's surface should be blazing with stars at least some of the time when they were supposedly there. Yet they didn't manage to take ONE single photo of them? Not one? When just one would have been so convincing? (NASA even has art-work depicting a would-be Lunar view in which the sky is chock full of stars.
btw, the first time I started to doubt the Apollo missions was while they were going on. I was a very heavy-duty peace-justice organizer back then. I began to notice this very curious pattern of that whenever we scheduled major anti-Vietnam-War rallies, NASA scheduled their latest Apollo mission. This seemed to happen repeatedly. We'd put in all this work; even the press would predict we'd have huge turnouts - yet, seemingly due to the "successes" of the Apollo Program, many fewer turned out and we ended up talking more about Apollo than we did about the slaughter of 3 million innocent victims. The timing began to seem too "coincidental".

Try harder, you have no idea what you are talking about. Trust me, I've researched this since I was 16 years old and that was in 1980 when I first took an interest in it. No one has ever been able to answer his question. Not NASA, not Neil deGrasse Tyson, nobody. Anyone that has tried, comes up with nonsensical, unscientific blather like you just did. Did you even look at the video? There is no way, I repeat, no way what is depicted in that video would result in what is pictured in those photos. We have footage of what was purported to be happening on the ground, it's not hypothetical. You are hypothesizing as to what may have happened, I am presenting to you what Nasa says happened, and what they say happened as depicted in the video could not have happened as depicted in the images.
Why have China and Russia not "debunked" the multiple "fake" landings for geopolitical gain?
Because they have a money-sucking "Space Program", too!

Yet, when you use a digital camera with a zoom lens, that ship reappears. Bodies of water to NOT curve. The Earth is flat.
