My question is: where is the uneven ground in the above picture? there is no uneven ground to justify the shadows not being parallel enough.

Also Weedwhacker: I must correct you. Shatner never directed a Star Trek movie. They just somehow miscounted and jumped from 4 directly to 6.

I dont know about you, but the first thing I would do is destroy it.
Why would they risk their lives and careers?
Many parts of this "studio" are in plain sight.
No it wouldnt.
Your just making it larger than it is in your head.
Yes they have, that includes the photographs.
Look for yourself

There are mountains of data. Hours of footage and audio. Thousands of photographs.

I think they took around 6000 of them during the moon landings, and just about all of them are perfectly exposed, framed, focused, etc.
Check out this time and motion study of whether it would be possible to shoot that many or not and make up your own mind.

But back to Jack Whites PPM calculations. His method makes no sense. With Apollo 11 for example, I see no good reason why he takes the 31 minutes out of the total 2h31m EVA to calculate the PPM (other than to skew the results to his liking of course). Seeing as how the 121 photos were taken throughout the entire EVA, it would make sense to use the full 2h31m time for the calculation don't you think? And when you do that, you get 0.8 PPM instead of 3.90 PPM. Plus the later mission, both astronauts shared the task of photographing and documenting, so if you redo the calculations for Apollo 17, which has the most photos taken for it's 3 EVA's, and you use the total EVA time and divide that between the two astronauts then you get 0.75 PPM instead of 2.35 PPM.
Jake White does what ever he can to skew the results in his favour. I find him to be a very dishonest person.
Hopefully he takes on 9-11 next!

Do you really not see all the obvious flaws in this study? For one thing, he doesn't account for the fact that there are TWO astronauts performing the various tasks and taking photos. That doubles the time right there. Another charlatan.

Virtually every photo was a different scene or in a different place, requiring travel..
Therefore having two cameras DID NOT TRANSLATE TO TWICE AS MUCH TIME...

Not notice that many of the shots were REPETITIVE, rapid-fire panoramas, or multiple shots of landscapes, or taken ALONG their travels?

So now we've got too many photos taken in the time available. (see time and motion study link above)
AND, the sequential frames they did take, mostly from the moving rover, are all perfectly in focus and no hint of blur.
Maybe they happened to be driving over some nice smooth surface, unlike much of the 16mm footage proves.
How did they time it so perfectly that the camera wasnt bouncing around when the photo was taken ? amazing !

maybe they used 1/250 sec shutter speed and a wide angle lens, and maybe they even LOOKED at the terrain so they knew when *not* to shoot

You know what, those thousands of photos just might be the problem. There's too many.

Thats a poor effort IMO.
The number of photos taken seems perfectly reasonable: i've rattled off hundreds of photos in an hour plenty of times.

Yes, but did you have to adjust high and low gain antennas ?
how long did it take them to do this ? How did this impact on how many photos they could have taken ?
Why have I never seen them adjusting these antennas in any of the TV recordings ? just saying.

The high gain on the LM was directional, but computer controlled. The low gain wasnt even directional.
