This picture from Apollo 15 is really quite an amazing feat of camera work if you consider that it was taken without any means of knowing if everything was in shot. No viewfinder, no one to tell you if everything is in shot. Isn't it strange that the only thing visible on the dark part of the Lunar Lander is the American Flag? You cannot put that down to two light sources. More likely a NASA artist and an airbrush! This picture was later used on postcards and NASA advertising.
