My spray wasn't directed at Alex, but to address his points it would be wise to read one of the books. The moonpans one goes into considerable detail about how the photographs were taken. The lighting was not tricky as there were no clouds and it was all outside in direct sunlight. Each photograph was pre-planned and rehearsed, with camera settings specified in the cuff checklist, right down to the angle of the polarising filter. Despite all this, there are many shots that are not level, parts of the rover or lander are cut off by the frame edge, the overlap in the panoramic images shows a great deal of variation up and down, and as for the comment that the composition was perfect - well, none of the images follow the classic rule of thirds of composition, and they look to me exactly like the sort of photograph a highly intelligent, well trained professional operating in one of the most hazardous situations ever encountered would take. They are not the work of a pro photographer.
So Alex's point really boils down to the fact that the photos are well focussed. At f7, you can be pretty sloppy, and those Hassy's have a pretty accurate distance scale. Despite this, there are out-of-focus shots too, but why would NASA show them?
As to the line of logic that if some of the shots were taken in a studio on the earth then maybe all of them were - (and it is well documented that each mission was carefully rehearsed and the astronauts did take photos and review them afterwards) - well; inductive reasoning might win a legal case but it won't survive peer review in science.

Well Alex, it's certainly possible that the landing photos were staged.
And if staged, it then provides fantastic evidence to those who say the landings themselves did not happen.
You say 100% of the photos are good shots. But probably you have only seen publicly available photos. The bad shots have been left out or thrown out, which is what all photographers (professional & amateur) do.
Got a link to the ladder photo. Don't link to a conspiracy video. Possible that authors have doctored the photo.
