to get the camera settings right. I don't fully understand the Aperture, shutter speeds etc, and maybe figuring all that out will help me get better pics. Is there a website anyone has found which would help.

I took the kids to the zoo yesterday, so thought I would experiment with my EOS 400D. I got hardly any pics I would like to keep. Heaps were either too dark, or they had camera shake (not practicle to take a tripod to the zoo, and have 2 kids with you).

What is the best lense to use while at the zoo. I have the EOS 400d Twin Lense Kit, and I found I was forever changing lenses which was a huge pain, especially while I had 2 kids with me, and I was pushing the pram.

Also how is the best way to take pics of your kids and not get camera shake, or a bluey tinge to your photos.

I tried so hard yesterday to use the functions on my camera rather than just shooting the whole day in "auto". I think I only took about 5 out of 160+ photos in Auto.

I am not game enough to post any of my pics at the moment.
