Paul, those pics are cool. I'm not one of those conspiracists that thinks the moon landing was fake, but looking at these pictures,I wonder if they are real or not. The shadow of the lunar module is going in the opposite direction to the shadows in the craters!

No it's not. What you are seeing in the craters is exactly what you would see if the crater is a hole, rather than a bump. The darkest shadow is inside the crater, under the edge nearest the light source. The lightest bit is the inside edge furthest from the light source, and a hole throws no shadow outside it's perimeter.

They took these pictures whilst they were settling into the final orbital pattern. Once the high-def pics of these sites are taken, they should give clarity of around 3x the sharpness that we see here.
For comparison, this is one that was taken of another similarly-sized area - the first hi-def ones available:

Gotcha, thanks.
