I just googled lunar landing photos...... page 6 , 3rd from left..
What does that mean? "lunar landing photos" produces 14 pages. Going to page 6 lists 20 more website address. There is no right, or left, or "3rd from left".

Here's one looks like the lander and young's shadow are parallel to each other, but not the flag, antenna or photogapher ? they will eventully intersect.
This is a wide angle lens, and the photographer is much closer than is apparent. His head shadow is between astronaut and flagpole. The shadows will appear to merge at a distant center point, inline with photographers shadow.

My company designed and built the lander. Our telemetry indicated it was where expected< not Burbank or any other earth location.
Didn't the mythbusters disprove the conspriacy bull some time ago?

Were the Lunar Landing photos of the 60's genuine,or shot in a studio?
Greg,
When I was a lot younger, I worked for a company called Smithtown Metal Products. While working there I was given the task of building support struts and a few instrument housings. Little did I know that the things I built would land on the moon. I wound up being drafted into the Army and eventually was stationed in Thailand. I watched the proceedings in Camp Friendship in the city of Korat (Nakornratchisima). Bob Hope and his troupe gave a show and I was introduced to Neil Armstong, no photos of this meeting exist, since I could not have pictures of me on TV. I will tell you this, those photos are on the moon, the other crap is just that.
