Moon landing photographs are the main argument for the Apollo conspiracy believers, as there are thousands of moon photographs that have anomalies on them. (i.e.: different directions on shadows, things ‘highlighted’.) Because of these anomalies, the photos are believed fake by the conspiracy followers. These people reason “why create fake photos of something that really happened?”
Either.
l. The moon landing was faked.
OR
2. Aliens are on the moon, and are seen on many of the photos and have been replaced with fake ones 
The most constant argument that the moon landing photos (and the videos) are faked is simply that there are no stars in the sky. (See all Apollo images).
But there is a very reasonable explanation, the cameras that the Apollo mission used, had manual light filters, (a bit like the pupil of your eye). The Sun reflects off of the moons surface and the white suits of the astronauts. Making both exceptionally bright, while the stars (because they are so far away) are quite dim.
The cameras on the Apollo mission would be set at a bright setting, so the moon and the astronauts are visible, but the stars are missed because of the flood of light, from the moon and astronauts.
But even if there’s is an explanation for no stars, many photos seem to have multiple light sources shining on the surroundings, casting shadows in different directions, even though there is only one (bright enough) light source visible on the moon (the Sun). The conspiracy believers argue, that the only way multiple light sources could be shining on the ‘set’, is if the LM landed in Hollywood.
For example, in the two images to the right, the shadows of objects are in different directions. (In fig one the Landers shadow is pointing east, while the rock shadows are pointing south-east). The conspiracists explanation for this is that more than one light source is shining on the moon, a trick used by movie producers, to highlight certain areas. But common sense then tells us, that there then should be more then one shadow. For example, football players have multiple shadows while playing on the pitch, because of the multiple lights cast upon them.
Instead these bent shadows are caused by the uneven ground of the moon surface, if an object is on a hill or a slope then the shadow will ‘bend’ into the incline. Brilliant pictures demonstrating this can be seen at GODDARD’S JOURNAL under Are Apollo Moon Photos Fake?. You can try this yourself, with a bucket of sand, two poles and a light source.
There’s also a different conspiracy theory about the bent shadows. It is said that the different angled shadows, come from one long artificial light. This could possibly work, as movie lights do cause that effect. Though it is more likely to do with perspective. If you viewed the landscape from a bird’s eye the shadows would be parallel. Though, the conspiracy theorists explanation could work.
Thanks to Aulis, for bringing this to my attention

There are an awful lot of cosmic rays hitting the moon; so the astronauts are walking around and detecting frequent flashes in thier eyes and the same principle aplies to the cameras. There are more than just cosmic rays that far out into space and all these particles are flying around and smashing into each other, so the film inside the camera would be exposed. Its simpley impossible to take photos in deep space using ordinary film, it cant be done. You can send pictures back to earth using various wave frequencies, you can take digital pictures, but you simpley can not go into space with a camera and celuloid film and take pictures, the laws of physics just do not allow for such events. Black box radiation and cascades would utterly destroy the film no doubt about it and that simple fact alone suffices to expose this whole apollo fraud.
I rest my case

Why no further landings?
My main concern is that if they really did land on the moon in 1969, then why was there not a single attempt to repeat the feat even after more than 40 years. Don’t we have the technology or the willingness to do it now. Or is it that it is more easy to detect fakes with the present day technology? Think about it.

Ummm… NASA landed men on the Moon five more times after Apollo 11.
There are no major technical obstacles to going to the Moon. NASA just needs to build a new spacecraft and heavy-lift rocket to replace the Space Shuttles first.
Bingo. You just hit the nail on the head. Going to the Moon is very expensive and a lot of people don’t understand the benefits of doing it so they don’t see the point. Without support from the taxpayers and the politicians NASA can’t fund anything as expensive as missions to the Moon.

This wasn’t an ordinary camera we are talking about. The entire camera was protected in one way of another. The films were protected with a lead casing while inside and outside of the camera, the only chance of contamination being while the picture was being taken, and most of this was effectively stopped and the outside of the cameras. Which was covered in heat /radiation protection.
If getting live feed from outer space impossible, then how does the Hubble telescope, and all of the voyager missions do it?

Has anyone at all thought that, hmmmmmm, you know, if there were a conspiracy to committ a fraud, that thousands of people at NASA and elsewhere would have to be in on it, and that by now someone would have blown the whistle and made money by writing a book? Conspire on that!

If I can see my house and back lawn on Google Earth why doesn’t someone point a hubble at the moon and show us the lander there in all it’s glory, and the foot steps, flag, gold ball etc? Surely tha would put an end to all this?

Dave.
That picture of your house on Google Earth was taken by a guy in an aeroplane or helicopter. There may be intelligence satellites that are capable of that resolution but they are not being used to amuse internet users.
I doubt if the Hubble could focus at that distance and is not designed for that kind of imaging, Anyway, you wouldn’t believe it if they did would you? You’d say its a fake.
You need to prove it by yourself, so make a powerful laser and bounce it off the ranging reflector left on the moon.

well Dave, the difference is that 1st of all your house measures at least 15 meters across and is easily visible from an equatorial sattelite orbiting at 100 to 1000 miles overhead (check out http://www.spacetoday.org/Satellites/SatBytes/SatOrbits.html to see about satellite orbits)
In contrast to that, a lunar lander measures only about 4.5 or 5 m across (much less than your house) and is about 320.000 km (250.000 miles) away!!! and that is very far if you are looking for a 5 m object, even for a telescope! Also check out http://www.tass-survey.org/richmond/answers/lunar_lander.html which says about “Can we see Apollo hardware on the Moon?”, if I didn’t convince you, this will…

The moon pics are real taken by men on the moon.
The USSR had tracking that would easily have blown any attempt to fake a landing.
Multiple lights would cause multiple shadows and they can’t be found on any of the moon pics. The understanding of perspective is nexessary to explain the non paraellel shadows so go look it up.
Google earth images were taken by satellites not airplanes.

Well you also want to know what the only nation in the world to not allow its citizens to watch the lunar landings was the U.S.S.R and the main reason was that they did not believe that the landing was real.
If you want to prove me wrong please do, I love learning, but this is the god dead on truth. Trust me I am from Russia, on June 20, 1999 the T.V networks on HTB(that is in Russian letters) had a whole special on how these landings were fake.

You idots of course the astronauts landed on the moon how the hell else would in some of the photos the earth be in the background
