David Scott holding the first telephoto Hasselblad camera used on the Moon near the Rover, station 10, EVA 3, 26 July - 7 August 1971

Vintage gelatin silver print on fiber-based paper, printed 1971, numbered "NASA AS15-82-11168" (NASA MSC) in black in top margin, 20,3 x 25,4 cm

David Scott is carrying the Hasselblad equipped with the 500mm telephoto lens in order to capture high resolution photographs of Hadley canyon.
Behind Scott, the Rover has its high gain antenna pointed at Earth so that Mission Control can monitor the scene with the TV camera mounted at the front of the Rover.

“I was surprised that time went so fast. We never had enough time. And, boy, we had trained to make sure we were efficient. And when we got there, we never had enough time to explore a site like we would have liked to. Because it was so exciting. There was so much there. And you just wanted more and more and more and more...”
