Seeking advice from more experienced photographers (especially of birds/bugs/nature!): one of the biggest things I'm struggling with is exposure, and specifically getting very overexposed bird shots on bright sunny days. My googling and reading of various articles have contained a lot of contradictory advice which leaves me where I am, which is not knowing what settings to change when I'm encountering this problem and feeling really frustrated. So I thought, there's lots of great photographers here, why not ask?? What's your advice? What settings do you use in bright sunny conditions of direct light? What am I doing wrong?

For context: I'm shooting on an old Canon rebel T3 DSLR with Canon's lowest end 75mm-300mm lens. EDIT (further context) I'm very new to using manual settings on a camera and have mainly been shooting in aperture priority mode while trying to get the hang of aperture/ISO/manual focus, but clearly I need to expand beyond this ASAP to get the shots I want.

Thanks so much for any advice or insights!

"Every photographer should get a 50mm lens" is bad #PhotographyAdvice that refuses to go away.

Any photographers on here have a recommendation for a camera sling they like (I think that’s what I want but I’m open to being convinced on a clip/wrist strap/etc)?

I see a range of recommendations online. Is the peak design system worth the higher prices?

I’m a complete amateur who likes to take my DSLR on hikes and walks through the city when traveling.

Over a decade ago I started writing about photography and now I have a blog section on my website to share those moments when I am compelled by words.

It's not all about photos :)
