"Aldrin inside Chamber B during lunar surface spacewalk training."
During the week of May 5, Apollo 11 prime and backup crew members trained for the first lunar surface Extravehicular Activity, or spacewalk. The training sessions, with the astronauts wearing pressure suits in near-vacuum conditions, took place inside Chamber B of the Manned Spacecraft Center’s Space Environment Simulation Facility. These training sessions followed previous ones in Chamber B that were conducted at sea level. During the simulations, astronauts practiced operations they would conduct on the Moon, including extracting experiment packages from the LM and setting them up on the surface."

I'm assuming the guy that wrote the article meant "sea level (atmospheric) pressure", and his dumbing-down of "Extravehicular Activity" should've more accurately been "moonwalk", NOT "spacewalk." Spacewalk is what Ed White & Bruce McCandless performed.
The angled object on the other side of Aldrin is the Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA). He looks to be photographing the Laser Ranging Retroreflector (LRRR) experiment with his Hasselblad 500 EL Data Camera.
