Eugene Cernan (Apollo 17)
Harrison Schmitt taking photographs next to Tracy's Rock, station 6, EVA 3, 7-19 December 1972
Vintage chromogenic print on resin coated paper, printed 1972-1973, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso and NASA caption numbered "72-H-1576", "72-HC-927", AS17-146-22294" on an original NASA sheet taped on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm
Harrison Schmitt holds the Hasselblad camera equipped with the 500mm telephoto lens in his hand.
He is leaning on Tracy’s Rock for stability in order to take high resolution photographs of distant features.
The split boulder “came from a point about 1.5 km up the slope of the North Massif at an elevation of about 430 m above the valley floor” (Constantine, p. 137).
The Lunar Rover is in the foreground. The slope of the North Massif is in the left background.
From the mission transcript when the photograph was taken:
165:43:48 Schmitt: How am I going to see up there to shoot this thing [distant features upslope on the North Massif]?
165:43:52 Cernan: Well, why don’t you lean against the rock? Go over there and lean against it.
