Take a real good look at the video footage again, the parts when they are taking the photos, give it a bit of a critical eye from a photographers’ perspective - just might hit you like a ton o bricks - or maybe not.
Do you have a particular clip or photo you'd like me to examine? Send me some index numbers and I'd be happy to take a look. I've looked at a lot of them, but there's something like tens of thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of photo and video frames from Apollo
I can't tell you if we went to the moon or not in the 60's. But I know that the Apollo program could have done it. And I know there's a lot of claims out there about the photography, but I still haven't seen anything that's a dealbreaker, except maybe the two mountains (appear exactly the same) that were taken on two different missions, thousands of clicks apart. I'll look that up again and link it here if I can find it. Haven't looked at that one in a while.
Google search ‘Apollo 11 magazine S’. It was a 130 cap mag w/ 125 exposures.
Examine the ‘hit rate’ achieved under such conditions.
Once you find the raw photos, note the Rousseau plate marks. Now note the compositions achieved, including the hit rate (aka - good useable photo) and you may start to notice nearly all of the photos are ‘perfectly’ artistically composed relative to the center center mark. I do not believe that is possible with any amount of training even amongst the best photographers in the world. Not chest mounted, no viewfinder no laser pointer.
They did throw a couple ‘misses’ in there for good measure though.
The sequence coming out of the LM is very telling. This is photography of an object in motion down the steps and each image is absolutely NAILED, in sequence (not possible I’d argue). Center mark and composition - Nailed. How much precise camera movement was required for that sequence? Could it have been done with a chest mount?
After that, go look at some of the lackadaisical ‘photo-taking’ that is captured via the video feeds of Apollo 11. They are basically joyously hopping around taking ‘snap-shots’ not doing work of a serious photographer.
I'm guessing you're referencing "Apollo 11 magazine 40/S" - yes ? If so, I looked through it and didn't see a single thing that stood out.
Have you ever heard of "point-shooting" ? IE shooting a pistol without looking down the sights. Even novice shooters can hit targets at 5-7 yards without even looking down the sights.
If you have experience with photography, looked them over, and found the moving sequence coming out of the LM doable, not much more I can say. Other than I, for one, do not believe it is achievable considering the circumstances and video evidence of when and how those shots were taken. I encourage you to go hold a camera on your chest and try it out on your car with no viewfinder / no cheating.
Nothing handy.
Just find some video footage that includes them snapping off photos, and see if you think the framing ‘composition’ they achieved on Apollo 11 is possible with chest mounted cameras just pointing and shooting.
Take note of the Rousseau plate marks so you can see if they did some cropping.
Then, cover up your iphone screen with some painter’s tape and take a few photos of your car or truck walking around to a few different spots Just a simple experiment. Nothing serious like duplicating focal lengths etc. Just an exercise in ‘framing’ a photo properly w/o working too hard at it and no viewfinder.
