Two really good images Simon. I've seen images of these artificial man before but the way you've captured them is new to me. You've definitely chosen the right image. Really dramatic.

Yep good choice - I've toggeg them many times!
A pal of mine who isnlt a fan calles them "Legalised scrap litter"
Base ISO, Yes, I meant the lowest it would go. I think that if the scene si static, and you're on a tripod then shutter speed is irrelevant, so would lower ISO as far as possible.
TBH I've not kept up with camera tech and noise is probably a thing of the past with modern kit.
ARTIFICIAL - perfect shot, and it fits ther theme. I think your own critique of the two images is spot on. The position of the figure in the light is great. Nicely done.
So many comments!
Thank you all for your kind words and constructive feedback it's very helpful!

This week's theme has been a bit of a head-scratcher, I finally had time today to have to think about the picture today and thought a picture of a nice soothing glass of whisky would tick the box. However, a couple of people have already beaten me to it with their fantastic images.
So while I was enjoying the whisky and set about putting a prism I have into good use, it's always tricky getting a beam of light thin enough to get the effect I was after.
It seemed to work out ok though.

Nice one and yes - Immediately thought of DSOTM
Thank you everyone for the kind comments, it was a bit of a bugger to take this picture as getting the beam of light "right" took some fiddling.
I'll probably get shouted at now or banned maybe but...I've never listened to the DSOTM
Although I do recognise the album cover I just have never made the effort to put it on, I shall do so tonight!

I always forget to check when the snapper's choice is coming and it is a welcome surprise when it does, sometimes an idea comes straight away and other times I struggle.
The plan for this week was to get a close-up of my eye in an attempt to highlight the details in an iris. I used a Sigma 105mm macro lens for the picture but I couldn't get as close as I would have liked for what I had envisioned, perhaps the camera is the limitation here, or more likely the user!
Thanks for looking!

Well taken Simon.
A slight technical point to concentrate on though is that you appear to have held the camera the wrong way round

Doh! Haha
Thanks very much, it was done using a tripod and a remote trigger and taking many many pictures!
Thank you!

I just happen to live not too far away from a funny (to me) road name and I thought this would be perfect for this week's theme.
I give you Knob Hall Lane
