'Action' shot of Alan Bean taking photographs of the plus-Y footpad, possibly AS12-47-6906.

The inoperative TV camera is at the right-hand side of the picture and the erectable S-Band antenna is visible beyond the plus-Y (north) strut, with the unsupported/drooping U.S. Flag immediately to its left. Note that Pete Conrad is standing slightly below the level of the footpads, having moved partway down the initial slope of Surveyor Crater to take this pan - testimony to his sh!t-hot piloting skills.

 

ALSJ paraphrase above.
