In one of the rare “tourist” moments on the Moon, Armstrong called out to Aldrin to take his portrait.

Aldrin is standing next to the seismometer; the Laser Ranging Retroreflector (LRRR) and the stereo close-up camera are behind him.
The TV camera and the LM Eagle are in the background.

111:06:20 Armstrong: There you go. Good work; good show. Hey, whoa; stop, stop! Back up.
“Hey, whoa; stop, stop! Back up.”
Neil Armstrong
