Mosaic of fifteen vintage gelatin silver prints numbered NASA AS15-85-11398 to AS15-85-11415 in black in top margin, 27 x 155cm, image 25 x 147cm “For a boots-on-the-ground perspective of the lunar surface, one of the best resources is a spectacular set of 70-mm Hasselblad panoramas that the Apollo astronauts created. These panoramas were not easy to produce. The astronauts’ movements on the lunar surface were encumbered by spacesuits. The astronauts were also unable to align the cameras with a view-finder. Because the astronauts were wearing helmets, the cameras were mounted on the chests of the spacesuits. Without a view-finder, the crew had to learn how to point, shoot, turn slightly, point and shoot again, etc., until a panorama of overlapping photographs was generated. This required a lot of training on Earth, before they travelled to the Moon. Fortunately, this task will be much easier with modern digital imaging systems when we return to the Moon.” David Kring, Lunar and Planetary Institute Literature: Apollo 15 Preliminary Science Report, appendix D, figure D-4
