Astronaut David R. Scott, Apollo 15 commander, walks away from the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) during the third and final Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA-3) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The LRV is parked a short distance from the rim of Hadley Rille. The far wall of the rille is in the distant background at extreme upper left. In his left hand, Scott is holding a 70mm camera equipped with a 500-mm lens. The photograph was taken by astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot. While astronauts Scott and Irwin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) to explore the moon, astronaut Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.
