Good effort, Bob.
I think that someone like you will make the best use of that lovely device.
I enjoy my X100 because it's capable of excellent stuff; but I can easily screw
up, like having f11 set in low light by mistake, pushing the ISO (auto) up
unnecessarily. The camera invites a lot of attention, but it's discreet as well
— when necessary.
