A guy in a Denver coffee shop changed how I look at the moon landing

I was reading an article on my phone about the Apollo 11 mission and this older guy at the next table leaned over. He said, 'You know, the real debate isn't if they went, but why the footage looks so strange. Look into the Van Allen belts and the camera tech they had in 1969.' I spent the next two hours down that rabbit hole, and now I see the whole argument differently. What's the most convincing technical point you've heard on either side of that one?

The camera tech argument always falls apart under basic lighting facts.

Wait, I have to disagree with you @pat_fisher24. Modern sensors handle mixed lighting way better than they used to. That's a huge part of the tech improvement.

Just shoot raw and fix it later in post.
