As soon as I read the post, this image popped into my head. It's not ground-breaking and there were plenty of others in the film that were more impressive. However, as I sat in the theater in 1977, it's the one that really moved me into feeling far far away and has always been my mental image of the film.

Yeah I like this one too.  The set up must have been so simple.  Does anybody know how they did this?  A simple double exposure?  If I had to eyeball it I'd say they took the shutter and aperture way down and refilmed for the higher sun to expose onto the image.  Is this accurate?
