Today was beautiful in Seattle. Clear and unseasonably brisk. Late afternoon sun in my yard. Thanks for looking. Cheers.

Mark: The first one's my favorite. I like the perspective depth, that the boy's alone, and the look on his face.
Scho: Nice composition. Simple color and subject with detail and texture. Draws the eye into the wood grain and metal surfaces.
Brad: Nice, dynamically balanced composition: the thrusting empty stair anchored by the the two seated people; the larger expanse of blue glass, concrete and aluminum counterbalanced by the red chairs.
Thanks all for sharing. Cheers.

I can't help it! More fruits and vegetables.
This camera likes fruits and vegetables! Tomatoes and brussels sprouts are favored with perfect exposure and color. The "as shot" and the "auto" white balance settings in Lightroom 2 for the second photo were exactly the same. The tourists have thinned out; so, I bought two pounds of grapes to compensate for my presence taking photos.
My EVF came today from Japan (same day Amazon would have shipped it out if I was a little more patient). I like it a lot. It's certainly good enough to MF. Thanks for looking. Cheers.

Brad, It seems that you underexposed. You shouldn't be seeing this much noise at ISO400. Did you, by any chance, pull the exposure up in the post?

Vivek,
Here's the shot with no adjustments, just exported from Lightroom.

Brad,
It looks like the exposure was set for the stairs/panels. Half the frame that is in the shade is definitely in the shade (I don't even know what the heck I mean by that other than pointing the obvious).
I am really puzzled that at ISO400, the shade area appears to be cracking up.
I do not know if this is from the camera or the software or the difficult light or a combination of some or all.

I'm wondering if the concrete has a texture or a mixture of stones that makes it look as if it's chrominance noise. I think there is some noise there, but maybe not all of what you're seeing as noise, is actually noise. It's been awhile since I was in this building so I don't remember. Brad, maybe you can comment?

I think this shot was underexposed (auto exposure saw the bright areas) and you're seeing actual noise at ISO 400. This camera is really nice, but it's not a D700 after all.
If I had time to "work the subject" I would have bracketed the exposure and tried to shoot at lower ISO.
The lens was the 14-140 so the max aperture I had to work with was f/5.3. There's always a trade-off with zooms and aperture and size and weight.
I am sure it would have looked better with my 5Dm2 and a 50mm f/1.4 L lens, or my M8.2 with a 50 summilux asph, but the GF1 was the tool at hand. I managed to snap off 280 photos of my son's field trip that day and upload them for the teacher and that would have been difficult with the M8 and arm-tiring with the Canon. The GF1 was the right horse for this course.

P.S. Thanks, Jack!

Brian, thanks. But, what am I going to photograph when they're out of season? They probably don't import them from Chile to sell at a "Farmer's Market".
Scho: It's indoors at the Pike Place Market. Sort of an arcade next to the street. Mostly artificial light (of all kinds) with some natural light depending where you are. They're savvy people. Next time, I'm there, I'll check out their lights. They probably controlled the kelvin temperature to make their produce appealing.
Cheers.
