Where can I find high quality "descent" photos at as many different altitudes as possible?

I'm working on a graphical simulation and I'd like to get the "look and feel" to seem as realistic as possible. Other than Apollo landing videos (which seem pretty limited and low quality obviously) are there any other good sources of high quality moon photos--specifically at many different altitudes?

I want to be able to compare my real time "descent" rendering visuals to as many actual photos as possible, to ensure that the details visible at any particular altitude appear similar.

I'd also be interested in other series-of-altitude photo sets (ex. Mars), if anything exists. I figure the moon is probably the best candidate for this. I don't think it matters if it's spacecraft based or land based photography. (Is the Astronomy SE a better place to ask this?)

Edit: Finally found an example! But Titan is kind of cloudy... https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/details.php?id=1455
