“TRANQUILITY BASE, THE MOON: A shadow-shrouded Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the moon, begins to deploy equipment a few minutes after taking the first momentous and historic step 7/20.”
More specifically, it’s around the time Armstrong began taking the first photographs while standing on the lunar surface, using his RCU-mounted, Hasselblad 500 EL Data Camera.
It looks like the still was taken from some time between the ~10:02 to ~10:44 mark:

Finally, note the long, rectangular, metallic object obscuring most of the left handrail & rungs of the ladder. It contains the United States flag that was later deployed.
