“APOLLO 15--Astronaut David Scott sits on the lunar rover waiting for his partner James Irwin. They have just completed one of their EVA's and will return to the lunar module "Falcon"--bringing samples of rocks and soil. Apollo 15 was launched July 26, 1971 at 9:34 a.m. EDT and touched down at the Hadley-Apennine site at 6:16 p.m. EDT, July 30--staying a total time of 66 hrs. and 55 min. Astronaut Alfred Worden was the command module pilot.”
One of the most striking views of the LRV (in motion btw), on the lunar surface during the Apollo 15 mission.

Up-sun view toward Swann Range taken by Jim Irwin during one of his panoramic photography sequences IVO the Lunar Module. Lots of LRV tracks, with a discarded item near the center of the frame.
Al Bean taking a close-up photo of the top of the SIDE. The CCIG is to the left of the SIDE while the ribbon cable connecting the SIDE to the Central Station (CS) runs out of the field-of-view to the right. The 'fog' is due to a dust smudge which first shows up on 6813. The crater at the lower right is large enough and deep enough to be discernible in LROC images

taken at high solar elevations high enough to show tracks left by the astronauts. The crater is labeled 'a' in the LROC images. Pete Conrad would have taken 6820 while standing just below the 'a'.
Paraphrased from the ALSJ.
The Suprathermal Ion Detector Experiment (SIDE) was designed to measure various properties of positive ions in the Lunar environment, provide data on the plasma interaction between solar wind and the Moon, and to determine the electrical potential of the Lunar surface.
The Cold Cathode Ion Gauge (CCIG) experiment was designed to measure the pressure of the Lunar atmosphere. It was originally designed to be part of the SIDE, but its strong magnetic field would have caused interference.

Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong (center) Commander; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. (on right), Lunar Module Pilot, are seen standing near their Lunar Module in this black and white reproduction taken from a telecast by the Apollo 11 lunar surface television camera during the Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity. This picture was made from a televised image received at the Deep Space Network tracking station at Goldstone, California. President Richard M. Nixon had just spoken to the two astronauts by radio and Aldrin, a colonel in the U.S. Air Force, is saluting the president.

Paraphrasing from the ALSJ:
Image taken as Neil advances the film prior to removing the magazine. View to the northwest showing the SWC pole. The fuzzy area at the lower left is most likely part of Neil's suit - probably his left arm - which, because it is so close to the camera, is out of focus.
"This photograph shows how Krafft A. Ehricke pictures man going to the moon by nuclear rocket. The manned payload hangs 1000 feet below the nuclear power plant after having been boosted from Earth into space by a chemical rocket. Upon reaching the Moon, the nuclear rocket is set down some distance from where the capsule lands. This arrangement protects the crew from the radiation of the nuclear rocket. (Convair, General Dynamics Corp.)"
The book presents the best information, ideas and assumptions on the conquest of the moon as of 1958. The authors, who were experts on missiles and space flight, tell how the moon would be approached, first with instrumented probes and then with man himself as a payload. Fascinating conjectures, based on the latest scientific findings, show what life on the moon might be like, how men would build a base there, how they would explore the moon, and how they would push on from there to further explorations of outer space.

Actually, Young’s hand appears to be on the handle grip of his Hasselblad camera, so he’s likely either taking pre- or post-sampling documentation photographs.

Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the moon near the leg of the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.

"The deployment of the flag of the United States on the surface of the moon is captured on film during the first Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. Here, astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, stands on the left at the flag's staff. Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, is also pictured. The picture was taken from film exposed by the 16mm Data Acquisition Camera (DAC) which was mounted in the Lunar Module (LM). While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit."

Early morning view of Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, showing Apollo 4 (Spacecraft 017/Saturn 501) unmanned, earth-orbital space mission ready for launch, with a full moon in the upper left part of the image. The 363-foot tall Apollo/Saturn V space vehicle was launched at 7:00:01 AM (EST), November 9, 1967.
Apollo 17 Command Module Pilot Ronald E. Evans is photographed conducting his deep-space Extravehicular Activity (EVA) during the mission's transearth coast. During his EVA, Evans retrieved film cassettes from the Lunar Sounder, Mapping Camera, and Panoramic Camera. The total time for the EVA was 1 hour, 7 minutes and 18 seconds, starting at Ground Elapsed Time (GET) of 257:25 (2:28 p.m.) and ending at GET of 258:42 (3:35 p.m.) Sunday, 17 December 1972.
The western half of North America, and to a lesser degree, Central America, can be seen through the cloud cover in this photo taken during Apollo 11’s Trans-Lunar Coast.

Note also the ‘labeling’ of each stage - I suppose to facilitate the correct stacking/mating sequence. ;-)
John Young is at the ALSEP site, working with a sample bag, using the top of the camera, which is Charlie's, as a work surface.
Above is ALSJ paraphrased.
"Charlie Duke is at the front of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), which has been parked at the ‘VIP Spot’, the vehicle’s final location, from which the Ground Commanded Television Assembly (GCTA) will televise ascent stage liftoff. The battery covers are open."
Apollo 6/AS-502 Command Module (CM-020) is prepared for mating/stacking prior to its 4 April 1968 launch.
And, as always, excellent reading/info at:
