New Canon T2i shots

Is that you touching the tiger? Awesome, if so!

Great shots! Nothing feels better than shooting a Canon ;-) Are you shooting in Manual? If not I would strongly suggest playing with it just because it's going to give you as much control over the different aspects of the shot as possible. Also, are you shooting in RAW or JPEG format?

Looks like you're getting the hang of that DSLR quick, keep it up!

Mdtalley, no I wish it was me but that was the head keeper, he came out because Star, the tiger, was in her sleepy place and I couldn't get a single picture of her. The second the keeper came over though, Star was up chuffing and carrying on like he was her "mommy" it was so breathtaking!

Pruddock. Yes I am shooting manual but have not used raw format because I don't have an imaging program that opens those

Nice photos. BTW - you can download Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) which will allow you to read and adjust raw images. It should have been included with your camera.

Ditto. RAW is an absolute must as you dive further and further into the addictive hobby/profession that is photography.

OK,I know Im late to the party. OP was asking how to stop action...shutter speed. For a shot of a dog running,you may want to use a shutter speed of maybe 1/500th or higher to totally freeze action. Gotta remember though,higher shutter speed = less light getting to the sensor. Also,shoot raw like others have mentioned. It gives you total control when processing your images. You should use AI Servo when tracking moving objects. Switch your focus mode to it,then focus and hold your focus button down while staying on the subject. It takes a lil practice,but becomes easy once you get the hang of it. Another thing,if you really want to get some awesome shots of your snakes,you should look into getting a speedlight. That way you have total control of flash and you can try some OCF=off camera flash. Good luck and happy shooting.

I done know anything about photography but coincidentally, I was just discussing going to that zoo. After seeing your pictures I'm definitely going to go Oh and they are beautiful pictures by the way, I'm so impressed by all yalls work

Don't* for some reason I'm pretty inept at typing on this tablet lol
