the first is taken by either Jim Lovell or Bill Anders (Apollo 8) using one of the telephoto lenses meant for high resolution moon surface shots for future prospective landing sites, hence the Earth is large in shot.
The second is Harrison Schmitt taken by Gene Cernan (Apollo 17) using his chest Hasselblad with a wide angle lense meant for close and panorama shots, hence the Earth appears small. (If you look closely at the orginal you can see Cernan reflected in Schmitt's visor twisting his body around to get the alignment for the shot)
In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.
Yes but the astronaut in the visor has a shadow that falls towards the visor, how is that possible?
The shadow on earth is not the shadow from the moon, it is cause the sun is above the earth. And knowing this, makes me wonder how there can be another sun behind the guy in the visor?
If I am sceptic to the moonlanding? Yes after this picture I am.
I am a photographer, and know this can`t be....
If there would be the moon, it would look like this:
