Hello from Minnesota!

Hello, I'm new to photography (about 3 years) - I've got so much to learn!
I need other peoples advice and am excited to see how others capture birds.
My biggest problem at this point is shooting nearer to dusk into the setting sun - birds are dark (like seen with human eye) - am still trying to find the right settings!
Anyhow - This will be fun!

Hi there and a warm welcome to you from the entire staff here at BirdForum

Your best bet would be to find the appropriate section for the camera you are using and then someone should be able to help you with your settings. Enjoy!
