This was my first photo-expedition, 2 months after purchasing my first DSLR camera. My self-guided studies have shown the result; but still made many mistakes. I checked the exposure after each shot, and made necessary compensations as needed. But I did not adjust aparture for different shots; a lot could be improved in terms of handling DOF. I also left the auto-ISO on when shooting with tripod, resulting many noisy pictures. There is always a next-time.
