Together with photographs, Scott was also documenting Schweickart’s spacewalk with a movie camera from the open CM hatch but the film jammed, allowing Schweickart to spend a few precious free minutes just floating, hanging on to extravehicular transfer handrails on the LM and admiring the view of the Earth. McDivitt took his picture from inside the LM Spider. The Earth horizon is visible (bottom left). The docked spacecraft with the CM open hatch as well as the Earth are reflected in Schweickart’s visor.

“I figured, ‘Hey, great. This is my opportunity to really appreciate what’s going on,’” recalled Schweickart. “So I just let go with one hand, and just sort of swung around, looked at the Earth below and the black space above and the Sun over my shoulder. And, I mean, it was this incredible, spectacular view (2015 interview for the Xprize foundation).”

From the mission transcript during the EVA:

073:40:50 McDivitt (Spider): Rusty, I want you to evaluate those handles and when you get through with that, I want a conclusion from you on whether or not it’s a practical way of doing it, like we’ve already said it is. [...]
073:41:14 Schweickart (PLSS): This is very good. There is no problem at all.
073:41:23 McDivitt (Spider): Good. Be right there. Smile.
073:41:28 Schweickart (PLSS): Hello, there. This is no problem at all.
073:41:33 McDivitt (Spider): Okay, Go on back down it again. Hey, Dave, did you get your movie camera running yet?
073:41:41 Scott (Gumdrop): Not yet; but I would like to try it, if you will give me a minute.
073:41:52 McDivitt (Spider): Well, you’ve got 4minutes. When the 4 minutes are over, then we are going to have to come back in, with or without the movies. If we get them, fine.

In the reflection of his visor, Schweickart can be seen holding extravehicular transfer handrails on the Lunar Module Spider. Otherwise he is floating freely in space. The photograph was taken from the window of the LM. The Earth horizon is behind Schweickart.

From the mission transcript during the EVA:

073:42:00 McDivitt (Spider): Come around the window here. Can you?
073:42:02 Schweickart (PLSS): Yes. Hold on. I’ll just push out a little bit. Wait, let me come up this way. How’s that?
073:42:12 McDivitt (Spider): Good.
073:42:14 Schweickart (PLSS): I’m in the shade, though.
073:42:15 McDivitt (Spider): That’s okay.
073:42:14 Schweickart (PLSS): Now, you got to get a good picture.
073:42:21: McDivitt (Spider)... Getting good pictures is to take a lot of them. These aren’t going to be very good; you just can’t - You’re just not over far enough. [...]
073:42:59 McDivitt (Spider): The trouble is, I’ve got this glass here with all the marks on it... I’m trying to take pictures around there. I’m not sure I’m succeeding.
