You have understood what exposure means, you started setting your own shutter speed and aperture values. You heard about white balance, color temperature and color balance, and you wonder how do I handle it during the shooting itself, rather than a post-processing. Some link you to guide you through.

How to Photograph birds
With my Canon 350D + 75-300mm (non-IS lens) the bird snap that I click are ordinary, nothing too special, and are less ordinary when left uncropped. I can't afford a 500mm or 600mm f/4 lens or any teleconverter. What should I do... I am using a tripod... don't help me much with the unsharp end of the 75-300mm.
Some tips around here:

Ultra-zoom lens --> IS --> MLU
Its time you are photo-shooting wildlife / birds and you want extremely sharp pictures. What do you need as you arsenal? You need lots and lots of money :) to get a fabulous 400mm / 500mm / 600mm lens, with a 1.4x or 2x converter. Great! Good to start.
This is when you read this reviews!!!!

Most interesting thing is image sharpness increase with the Mirror lock-up (mlu) feature! So basically when the mirror moves-up it create vibrations that may shake the clicked photograph... Hmmm I need to start doing this often!
