There's also the Clementine image of the ground disturbances of the Apollo 15 landing site. (Note, the link doesn't mention it, but I believe it is NOT a visible light photo.)

This photo was brought to public attention by an article on Space.com. The researchers cited in that article have confirmed that the photo is not a visible light photo, but is a "phase angle" image. This is produced by applying digital image processing techiques to a series of photographs in different wavelengths taken of the same area of the lunar surface.

Other photographs and astronaut testimony agree that the DPS-disturbed lunar regolith is lighter than the surrounding area to the naked eye.
