Apollo 11 - Buzz Aldrin and Flag
The image above is one of the most iconic shots from the Apollo space program. It has not been
cropped by NASA. There is a 5 x 5 grid of crosshairs, or reticles, on the image which shows that it
was centered perfectly. The lighting conditions would be challenging, to say the least, yet the image
is perfectly exposed. The eye is drawn to the brilliantly lit flag which is sharply in focus, and then
to the astronaut who is illuminated.
Pretty Good Shot, Neil!
