Apollo 17. They had been trying to get that shot since Apollo 12. I forget how many seconds before the launch that the engineer had to give the command to the camera to pan up but they finally figured it out.

I think what you mean is "They had to take a lot of shots in the studio before they got it exact right." (if you look real close you can see the reflection of the cameraman on the leg of the lunar lander!)
