Post your best photograph

You should use a much lower (F11+) f stop but a higher ISO/exposure time to get everything in frame in focus. You've got decent composition there though.

I think I shot that with F4, ISO 100, exposure time 30 secs. That's my main issue with these, I try and focus on the foreground for the last frame, but by then it's too dark for the camera to detect it and focus properly. I'm going to stick with silhouettes for a bit.

Depending on the camera, you could very well push the ISO up to around 1000 or so, that would offset a lower f stop for a much wider depth of field without adding too much noise to the image. Ultimately the stars are the subject so those should be in focus before the foreground. It's very trial and error. You could always shoot RAW and slightly underexposed then play with brightness in post.

In my opinion, you need to find more interesting subjects. To be a photographer, and earn good money, I think you need to stand out and those photographs just look like something anyone would take.

Some of my recent work at Uni.

Im assuming you're on about my photos XD hope so lol.
The first one was early in the morning just off the shore of Barcelona; the second one was at about 10 in the morning looking up at the Columbus statue.
I've got some more photos which I want to upload but it takes me about 10 minutes to upload one. :L
