Hi,

Just a short advise from my side.
  1. Use your tele-photo lense (55-250 for me) 70-300 for you.
  2. Use it at the maximum zoom (250 for me) 300 for you
  3. Set your camera to aperture priority mode (Av on your camera)
  4. Set the aperture to maximum open (smallest f number, I think for me it is f5.6 @ 250)
  5. Set Iso as per your requirement of speed, if it is windy as in my case for the attached photos, use high ISO like 400 or 800, if it is not windy use less ISO like 100 or 200
  6. You should stand at a distance where you can take good shots and what your camera allows.

OR

If you feel confident using Manual mode the steps remain the same but you have to set shutter speed and ISO to get the best exposure as I had done with the shots below. As it was windy I used some high speeds like 1/2000 and so on.

These are some of the shots taken by me on my trip to Kutch (a district in Gujarat, India)

Cheers
