492 a The astronauts took this photograph through the 250mm telephoto lens after separation from the LM. The astronauts couldn’t frame the entire crescent in this superb picture.
“You’re proud of what you’re doing. I mean you’re proud of the fact that, hey, I made it to the Moon. And then you look back out and you see this little bitty Earth back there, and you see all that darkness, and you also feel pretty humble at the same time.” Stuart Roosa (Chaikin, Voices, p.106)
492 b A telephotograph from magazine 69/P taken looking west through the 500mm lens showing the 9-km Crater Lansberg B near the lunar nearside terminator. Latitude / longitude: 3° S / 28° W.
“Stuart Roosa photographed the area around Lansberg B, which had been the predicted impact site of the Apollo 13 SIVB stage. It was calculated that the impact could have produced a crater about 200 feet in diameter, and scientists wanted good pictures of the area so they could search for the brand-new crater on the Moon” noted Alan Shepard (NASA SP-350, p.234).
From the mission transcript during orbit 34:
145:05:07 Fullerton (Mission Control): I have some more information for this upcoming photographs with the 500-millimeter of the 13 S-IVB impact crater. Over. [...] 145:05:39 Fullerton: Okay. Information on the photo pass. At 148:15, maneuver to roll, 026; pitch, 104; yaw, 000. We suggest you use magazine Papa, the same 500-millimeter COAS procedures as before. T-start is 148:23:03. For locating visually the target, we suggest you use the zero-phase landmark map 7 and 8. To refresh your memory, the impact crater is on the northeastern rim of Lansberg B located on a line from Lansberg B to Lansberg.
492 c This photograph from magazine 73/M taken through the 250 mm telephoto lens shows the Sea of Crises, Serenity, Tranquillity and Fertility from a perspective not visible from Earth as the astronauts left the Moon after 34 revolutions.
From the mission transcript after transEarth injection and acquisition of signal with the Earth:
148:47:45 Shepard: Hello, Houston; Apollo 14. 148:47:47 Fullerton (Mission Control): Roger, Al. You’re loud and clear. 148:47:49 Shepard: Reading you loud and clear, Houston. Okay, Gordo. We had a good burn. Good burn. We’re on the way home. [...] 148:48:24 Fullerton: Roger, Al. That’s good news. 148:48:29 Shepard: You bet. We’re making like tourists with the cameras right now. 148:48:36 Fullerton: Roger.
“It’s just like [...] looking back over your shoulder in an afterburner climb. You are really hauling the mail out of town.” Stuart Roosa (Chaikin, Voices, p.119)
