    Hi Rob .. I've already seen your work in the "other" forum, but I am equally impressed here, not just with the technical quality, but with the patience required. In fact, thanks to your reply to me elsewhere, I am down for a tube photography permit for the month of August.

    Cheers

    I have spent the best part of an hour browsing your excellent website which houses, by far, the best tube shots I have seen.
    Technical excellence and a good eye for composition is in evidence everywhere.

    Wonderful shots, both here and on your site. I especially like the first two, but all are very well done.

    I am curious about the requirement to get a permit though. Is this only a requirement in London or does it apply elsewhere? Given the things that have transpired over the last few years I can understand it, but it makes it difficult.

    Mike, what's this "other forum" you refer to?

    Rob,

    I think I commented on the other site - outstanding, just don't ask me to pick a favourite.
