No. 2 is my favourite, really stunning.
Is there a reason why you used only ISO 1250 ?
I mean, it works for the pictures, but from my limited experience, much higher ISO's work quite well on the GR, and might give you more freedom?
Flash would not even be needed for any of these...
Cheers!

Thanks Genster.
Sumolux, there are 2 reasons it was not at 1600.
1) I usually set the the camera to iso 800 max. This is just habit from the GR IV days. I then use the back rocker to increase ISO as required. Maybe this habit will change soon and my auto iso will make the the move to a max of at least 1600. In a camera with no IS, this goes a long way in making sure that shutter speed is not too slow.
2) I was indeed ramping up the iso when the signal changed and I realized that the subject got ready to cross the street. I had less than 2 seconds to ramp up the iso, place my camera near my hip, turn the lens towards the subject and fire. The best I could manage was 1250.

Hi Spode,
Indeed getting the shot is aim, and yours worked beautifully.
Regarding ISO, I still have to try the TAv setting where I understand the ISO setting is automatic after you set the speed and aperture?
It could be really handy in certain situations but I have no experience with it.
Do you know by the way the native ISO of the GR? I can't find that info anywhere..?
