Those are all composite photos from the CGI guy behind the coffee-table picture book Full Moon

My theory about these is that "real" photos from the NASA Apollo catalog have been inserted into CGI rendered landscapes. It's sort of admitted in that book although they're intentionally vague about the exact process, for example were the landscapes 3D models to help create consistent lighting? Doesn't say.
THis the one?

When they got back from a moon landing, the film would be processed and they would make a small number of copies. The original film was then stored in liquid nitrogen, and as far as I know it has never been thawed. Those second generation copies were then used to make a few third generation copies, and then frozen as well. So most pictures you see out there were made with those third generation copies.
A photographer named Michael Light (!) got permission in the late 90's to thaw and scan a second generation copy, and used those images to make a book named Full Moon. I browse through my copy about once a year, and the image quality is mind-blowing.
Some low-res images are on his web site.
