When going on my first two treks the things that seemed to bother me and otherwise just be aggravating were...
The fact that on my first trek the zoo ended up being rather crowded since I chose to go on a Saturday. It was the last beautiful weekend before the fall cold weather was arriving so when I was recording most of what I captured had echoes of people talking in the background. This didn't ruin my recordings at all, but I definitely would've desired complete silence in the background for a few of them.
Secondly, while on my first trek doing my recording of the train ride it was aggravating because it was difficult to balance out the volume of the recording. I had the mic sensitivity on high so that I could capture the sound of the train car rattling as it went over the tracks but then when the train whistle blew it caused cracks in my recording. So then when I turned it down to stop any more possible cracks from the whistle, I seemed to have lost the intensity of those rattling train tracks. Maybe if I sat in the last train car furthest away from the steam engine it would've created a better balance.
