Summary edit

Description

Apollo 16 Hasselblad image from film magazine 109/G - EVA-1. Commander (CDR) John Young is about to collect sample 61295, a regolith breccia, chipped off the boulder that the gnomon is sitting on. The boulder is on the rim of Plum crater.
This photo is used in Figure 4-18 of the Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report (NASA SP-315), which has the following caption:

The CDR, with hammer in hand, prepares to sample a boulder on the rim of Plum Crater at station 1 during EVA-1. Plum Crater has an unusual morphology; there is a bench or break in the slope along the inner wall of the crater. Smaller craters give a pock-marked appearance to the inner slopes. The gnomon marks the area to be sampled. The Hasselblad camera is partially visible above the CDR's left hand. Sample bags, which are hanging from the camera bracket, appear just below his left hand. Above the gnomon is the LRV. The flash of light in front of the visor is a light reflection on the camera lens.
