Is it just me, or is there something wrong with the light setup here? They don't use flash, and the sun is the only light source, without any reflecting objects. Still it looks like the light comes from left AND right? With that kind of strong backlightning, how did they get the front of his suite so bright? For me, this doesn't make any sense... Any takers? ;)

terje,
That's one really, really big photo to post in the forums.
There was a recent Discovery Channel story that addressed this (and other claims of moon exploration being a hoax). If I get a chance, I'll Google it for you.

It's not how fast it gets d/l'd just that it's annoyingly large. Screen real estate has not increased proportionally with bandwidth.

just looks to me like the sun is shining over his left shoulder..so if you were standing where he is, the sun would be behind you and to your left.
I could be blind, but I don't see anything wrong here. |

Touche dwooridge.
This is priceless,,,,here I am with a 20inch screen and still can't see all of this picture. You have no idea how tempted I was to write all this stuff exclusively on the right hand side, just to see if our friend could find it. |

I'm on 21" LCD so why do I care? ;)
I *should* have made a thumbnail!
But still, if the light is coming from left/behind me, there is no way I could have made the whole front shadow free. Not even with shadow/highlights in CS! ;)

Because it violates site policy/etiquette and forces us to have to edit the link for you.

| You know when they went to the moon they placed a laser reflector on the moon that is used to measure the distance between the earth and the moon. There is a lot more reflected light on the moon than the earth and you have no idea how much post processing it took NASA to create that image. |
