Caitlin and I went to Governor’s Island last weekend with our bikes to get out of the city.

I forgot to check the settings on my camera when we got on the ferry, so the first few are taken at ISO 3200 and something like 1/4000th of a second, resulting in a bunch of unnecessary grain. The X100 handles it pretty well, but still not ideal.
