So i went to the zoo. With a camera.

And a random one just trying out my 50mm f1.8II lens

Any C&C would be great.

Also, i havent touched the photos since i took them, so any ideas to improve them/make them good would be great too.

Seriously, just keep at it. Take photos of everything and anything, doesnt matter if its not of interest to everyone. I took probably 1000 or so photos at the zoo, and these were the half decent ones.

these are great, #4 is a bit dark tho, im having some trouble picking out what it actually is. #2 is a strange composition, i just see an awkward little hand/foot with hair, is it a monkey? lol otherwise they are awesome!

I love the snake one! I think 2 & $ could be brightened up a bit to show more detail. Fun shots!

#2 was a baby monkey gripping onto its mum. I stood waiting for ages to get close enough to take a photo of the baby then the mum picked it up and walked off when i got close. Its a fun photo for me as i like monkeys, lol. I know 4 is dark too, not sure what kind of animal it was, but it had its eyes locked on the people next to us.

Is this what is known as the "spray and pray" method of photography>

Camera shutters have finite lifetimes. Entry-level camera shutters are usually good for about 50,000 actuations. So if the camera cost $500, 1000 shots uses up about $10 worth of shutter life.

Most really good photos are planned.

All but one photo, the first, is under exposed.
