I like to take pictures with my camera at the zoo. I like to take pictures at the zoo with my camera . These are both OK, but you don't really need the phrase "with my camera", since that is obviously the normal means of taking pictures.

  • I like to take pictures with my camera at the zoo.
  • I like to take pictures at the zoo with my camera .
  • These are both OK, but you don't really need the phrase "with my camera", since that is obviously the normal means of taking pictures.
  • Just say I like to take pictures at the zoo.
  • You could also say I like taking pictures at the zoo, with a participial clause instead of an infinitival one .
