I never doubted the moonlanding but in a documentry I saw some questions were raised about the shadow pointing in the wrong direction
"Shadows on the Moon are complicated because there are several light sources: the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon itself. Light from these sources is scattered by lunar dust in many different directions, including into shadows. Additionally, the Moon's surface is not flat and shadows falling into craters and hills appear longer, shorter and distorted from the simple expectations of the hoax believers. More significantly, perspective effects come into play, particularly on rough or angled ground. This leads to non-parallel shadows even on objects which are extremely close to each other, and can be observed easily on Earth wherever fences or trees are found. And finally, the camera in use was fitted with a wide angle lens, which naturally resulted in subtle versions of "fish eye" distortion"
Have you seen what kind of cameras were used? These weren't Kodak Instamatics they took up there :wink:the sharpness / high resolution of the camera lens used to make shots which way extremely high. :what1:

"There are many badly exposed, badly focused and poorly composed images amongst the thousands of photos that were taken by the Apollo Astronauts."
It's a no-brainer that they only ones the public saw are the...um, "money-shots", if you'll pardon the expression
Actually, one of my favorite moon-hoaxer accusations is the lack of visible stars in the Apollo pictures.
Because as anybody who has seen Star Trek or Star Wars knows, if you are in space, there is an enormous, thick blanket of stars to behold (and photograph) :
