Photos by (and of) their modified Hasselblad cameras.
Not immune to flare!

Thanks for the link Alan.

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.

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

He would have come back with no pictures at all, and when they asked him
what happened, he would have said, "The light wasn't quite right."

or:

"I was waiting for moonrise"

The real reason was Ansel's camera was as big as the LEM and Ansel insisted
that he wanted to bring his camera back.

Been interesting if Ansel had consulted though and they'd come up with a
super lightweight 8x10 camera for the purpose.
