johnl285,

Welcome on board.

First of all, be very cautious when visiting the Hoax proponent sites, they like to use deceptive methods when providing their "proof" :roll: :roll: :roll: .

The first photo that Humphrey shows of Allan Shepard (it's actually Alan Shepard) does not tell you the whole story. First and foremost is that the astronaut that is circled is not actually at that location. You can see that in the original scan found here. Notice how this site has blended the circle portion to look like it should be part of the photo. Enlarged to just the right size so that the craters match just perfectly.

Second a common tactic is to use a low resolution scan to prove a point, like the shadow is missing. On the high level scan the shadow is there.
