As you travel. The fare that gets you to the cap will be lower than
normal so you hit it exactly, and all subsequent journeys are £0.00.

2. *I had this happen to me today: *At 19:42, as a two hour ride was
ending, I touched out at Baker Street, and immediately touched back in
at 19:43 (I got these times from a vending machine after I discovered
this and I had it pull up my trip history). *At 21:20 or so, I exited
at Leichster Square, having gone to Moorgate, Farrington, and then out
to Walthamstow in the meantime, and was charged 4 GBP. *I was also
charged 4 GBP for the trip starting at Baker Street that supposedly
never ended. *Any idea what happened here? *

Touching out and in at Baker Street isn't enough to break your journey
(you need to wait 15 minutes), so you went over the two hour limit and
were charged for two incomplete journeys. It's best to do tours around
the system on a paper Travelcard rather than Oyster, which also lets
you use the mainline trains around London as well, and you don't have
to worry about limits or touching in and out at all.

Any way of getting my money back?

You have to phone the helpline.

Thanks, in advance, *I'll also take any suggestions for photo spots
worth checking out anywhere on the Underground or DLR.

I'd take a trip to the far northeast ends of the Central and
Piccadilly Lines. A lot of the stations are worth stopping at (Gant's
Hill, Newbury Park, Arnos Grove, etc) and you get some interesting
scenery.
