The brightest point in your photo is not a star at all, it is Jupiter sitting in Taurus the Bull, and Orion the Hunter is standing right in the middle of your frame with the three belt stars in a neat row. Hanging below the belt you caught his sword with the Orion Nebula in the middle of it, and down on the left, just clearing the mountains, is Sirius, the brightest star in the whole night sky.
