Interesting pictures but you've slipped up. The pictures you posted using artificial lighting look the closest to the Apollo shots. They show the vast difference in shadow angles which are not apparent in your last picture posted using direct natural sunlight. If you had adjusted the lamp more to the bottom of the picture and had made the light lower, i think that you would have had very a similar picture to the Apollo one posted on this page.

The sunlight picture you posted shows that the shadow lengths of both objects are almost identical and nothing like the vast difference of lengths shown in the Apollo picture.

But if you think I'm not right, perhaps you could post a picture taken of the batteries in natural sunlight and positioned in the same way that the Apollo picture posted here is arranged. In other words so that the shadows fall from SE to NW.
