Night First attempts at night photography

First attempts at night photography · 11:36 AM

This is my first post, so Hello to all!

I was trying to get some good shots of the stars, used a tripod and these are the results.

Exposure: 20
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 200

You can see Orion in this one

Exposure: 30
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Please let me know what you think, any tips and advice is greatly appreciated.

At these small resolutions it's hard to make out how well you fared, but from here, you certainly exposed them well and the stars certainly come out boldly in the night sky.
Well done.
