My main reason for taking so many photographs (and I have even more, which I did not post) was because that's the last time I'll see Devonian Gardens for a long time. So yes, I suppose I did want to capture as much as possible

I took nearly as many photos as my Vancouver trip, despite have much less to actually photograph. Most of them were for experimentation.

Using the digital zoom actually makes the picture worse because it is not optically zooming but rather, zooming into the pixels.

You are producing very nice photographs. Try to capture what your eye is seeing. Think to why you want to take the picture and angle it and position yourself in the same manner that your eye would find it interesting.
My Vancouver trip I used as little zoom as possible, here I did use the zoom function more often. When I had looked at my Vancouver pictures I had felt many of them were too far away.

Regarding the zooming, I'll keep that in mind.

I wasn't really aiming for any effect, the pictures that came out blurry were a result of my shaking hands. Always happens to me, I have much trouble try to taking a picture when standing up. If I had a tripod, or something similar I believe I could better my pictures.
