Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Last night being a 12% moon, I decided to get out and try capture some stars. Well I went with hubby and 4 kids after dark and well that was a mistake to start with..... late nights and kids out in the dark don't mix... so my trip was cut short when my fuse and hubby's fuse was about to blow. I got off a few shots, really happy with them all but this one in particular I wanted to share as it was shot at the highest ISO for the night. (got 10 shots off in total) varying from 800 iso up to 2000 i think.

So this shot captured the most light due to the higher iso, if I can save up enough I'd love to go wider and a better aperture so I can keep the ISO lower. But for now I am happy. Hope it looks ok to you all, it is my first and lessons were learnt. Had to share though.

Shot on Fuji X-T1 18-55mm 2.8-4
ISO 2000
F2.8
Shutter: 30"
at 18mm (27mm equivalent on 35mm format)

Exposure looks like it was pretty spot on. The icing on the cake with these types of shots are the odd stray comet that suddenly sizzles across the image space.

I like it. What makes it for me is the silhouettes of the trees and house.
