This area was very red, as you can probably see. In here you can sit and listen to a commentary about getting old. I just snapped and ran. Don't need any reminding. 
The ladies in V4 were getting a bit fed up as they were trying to listen intently to every word and a stream of children and itinerant snappers kept coming in and disturbing them. 
Quite tricky to get a decent pic of the inside as the red light is just so strong.
Cheers, Chris
Each tank has a height of 7 metres and a diameter of 30 metres. Built to hold the fuel that powered the turbines that generated electricity for a large chunk of the capital (London), and to withstand the risk of explosion, they are thick-walled and capacious, a trefoil of inside-out towers, or a castle in negative.

V2 for me today Chris
I like the view beyond the red room, with the frozen and moving figures- well composed with the detail from the red room framing the room beyond

CarolI think V2 is the better picture too but the trouble with documentary photography is placement order. I put V1 up first because it sort of sets the scene, then I looked at things from different angles, then with various people. I think I should have left V1 out really but I quite liked the eye contact from the girl, not that you can see much with all the blur.
V3 for me - the cool grey plus the motion blur, a hint of someone walking past.
Moira
Excellent set (and series), Chris.
V3 for me: in/out, warm/cold contrast comes over best; but all are very involving.
Bill
I don't need reminding about getting old either! Great set, and rather like V2 as my fave, for the way the people are framed

They do work well as a set, but v2 also is strong enough to stand alone. Coloured lighting is a nightmare to capture. The Harry potter Studio set was bathed in a deep blue light!

Quite interesting set, Chris. Amazing RED, it made the photos surreal.. and getting old is surreal as well.. but when I can't remember things...
I think that you did remarkablelly well. It looks very dark, and handheld 1/4sec is quite difficult, the images look very clean at such high ISO..
Brilliant photojournalism, Chris
At first V3 was my favourite 'cos of the movement of the humans and the composition. Then I saw V5 and it just killed me. Look at that little one all splayed out as if hit by the heat of the desert!...lol...awesome
Andrew
An interesting place. But don't understand why inside an iron cage?
you have changed my ideas about a red light district completely.
well taken in this really tricky situation.
