Shadow, silhouette, and reflection?

[hbdragon88]

I've been wondering for the longest time how to accomplish this shot. I've beent rying to get a picture of all three elements in the same photograph, but...I can't figure out how it's done. So far I have gotten a silhouette and reflection, but getting a shadow out of that seems impossible. To my mind, to get a silhouette the light eneds to be behind the subject, and if it's behind the subject, how can I get a shadow out of that?

Does anybody know how?

Here's my sihouette-reflection shot.

No idea but i like the photo

I like the photo too. And it seems to me like having a shadow would look weird...

I like the oil derrick.

That is a really nice pic.

Seems pretty simple... in one corner of the foreground, have a floodlight and stand something in front of it. Voilà, a shadow. Mystery/problem solved.

I'd prefer it to be natural, rather than really artifically staged...yeah I thought about a floodlight, but thought it would be too artificial.

Like this? Seems to me like you just need the sun to be above the horizon.

Nice tip, shadow2k.

Maybe you can try with two sources of light.
