T3i overexposure

[Photo2011]

I have a Canon Rebel EOS T3i. 

One of my favorite times of day to shoot photos is at dusk, because this camera performs beautifully on auto settings. HOWEVER, shooting during normal daylight hours is never successful. Since the day I got the camera, photos always looks overexposed.-Especially the sky in landscape photos.

Really frustrated and don't know if it is the camera itself or the lens. It came with canon zoom lens ef-s 18-55mm. I bought the camera brand new years ago, so this post is loooooong overdue. I'm tired of coming home from vacations only to discover that all of the photos I took are washed out.

Hi and welcome to the forum:

It would be helpful if you can provide a couple of example images so we can see the nature of the issue with more clarity.  Can you confirm which mode(s) you are using please?  Have you in any way customized the metering mode from Evaluative?

Sorry for the delay. They had to be resize for me to be able to post. I'll try to upload 4 different photos. You will see that in a couple of them the sky looks completely white.

Can you post the actual file from the camera SD card for this image?

Images need to be smaller than 5000k.

Post a link to a file storage site like Dropbox or One Drive.

Look in your camera manual and follow instructions to reset camera to factory settings. Set camera to Auto mode, take some daytime images and post them as recommended by Trevor. Post actual files from camera.
