I wish they'd made those (and many other) shots more widely accessible a long time ago. (Funny thing is, imagine how they'd be received by the experts in this group - "lousy composition, poor focus, obviously amateur material..." Hehehe) Brought back lots of happy moments. Remember how quickly the whole Apollo sequence was over? Like a shot! One every couple of months, then nothing. Sigghhh. I wonder of OHS would allow Apollo moon shots nowadays. -- Jeff R.

FWIW, the mission reports and imagery are available for each of the Apollo missions from Amazon, and have been for years--the images are on CD. The one for Apollo 11 is at http://www.amazon.com/Apollo-11-Miss...626364&sr=1-11 |

The real reason was Ansel's camera was as big as the LEM and Ansel insisted
that he wanted to bring his camera back. w.. "Jeff R." wrote: Bill Graham wrote: .. Yes. - Too bad they couldn't have sent Ansel Adams to the moon.......

Been interesting if Ansel had consulted though and they'd come up with a super lightweight 8x10 camera for the purpose. w.. "Jeff R." wrote: Bill Graham wrote: ..
