That's a nice bike!
Well done Blaylock!
My phone can't get shots like that, it's a bit older than your S4.

f/3.5, ISO 1000, 1/30 sec, 20 mm, no flash, -0.7eV
Shot at the Springs, Sprockets & Pulleys 2013, exhibit at the Museum of Life & Science. There are several I'll post over the coming days. It was interesting.

Yep, same place. It's an awesome place for kids to explore, especially when they have exhibits like this in addition to the regular stuff.

Wow, lots of bowling equipment!
Nice shot again hokie!
Now, allow me to ask a n00b question: What's the ISO speed do? I think 100 is fast? So use lower ISO for fast objects?

ISO is a measure of light sensitivity. Higher ISO allows for faster shutter speeds, like when in a low light situation like inside a museum (and especially for sports, when you absolutely need a fast shutter speed).
Before digital, ISO was much more difficult - you had to choose which ISO you wanted from the start with your film. If you're old enough, you probably remember seeing 100, 200, 400, 800, etc on film boxes. Those were ISO numbers. The higher the ISO number, the more sensitive to light the film was.
Digital is much easier; now you just change your ISO at will and your sensor becomes more or less sensitive to light as you need it to. However, there is always a trade-off - higher ISO means more noise in the image. You want to use the lowest ISO you can for the shutter speed you need. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed
