How to do long exposure photography on a Nikon D5000?

I just decided to start doing photography, I know nothing about it but the type of photography that really caught my attention is the Long Exposure Photography. I got myself a Nikon D5000 and I'd like to know how to achieve a 30 second exposure night shot (which I believe is the one that's possible without having a tripod or a remote control - a hard surface and my finger is enough). This is what I have in mind to photograph:
-Buildings
-Bridges
-Stars
-Moonrise
-Sunset
Anything in dark conditions preferably, although I wouldn't mind doing day long exposure, if it's possible. Any answer is much appreciated, thank you in advance!

In the summer I was planning on buying a d600, and I was wondering if the lenses required for that are any different to that of a d3200 or something for example? Does the lens have to be a certain type or something? Thanks.

Nikon D4 versus Nikon D3S?

I am an amateur photographer slowly starting to get more business. I do not know a lot about the technical aspect of photography to be honest, but I am confident to say I can get some pretty great shots. I try to do a little bit of everything to get more experience. I am in need of a new camera, I have a Nikon D70, which I got when I was around 11, and am now 20. I have no clue how to decide on what to buy. I love my camera, but it is time for an upgrade.

What video settings should I use to record ink droplets in water?

I am trying to film the movement of ink droplets in water as well as swirling colors dropped into milk and distored with dish soap. I am using a Nikon D5100. I am new to using my DSLR so i'm not exactly sure how I can get my camera to stay focused on the swirling ink. I had my settings as 'subject tracking AF' for AF-area mode and the focus mode on full-time-servo AF.it had a hard time focusing on the swirling ink as it changed directions.it would keep refocusing but it took a while for it to finally focus (thats if it even could) and i really don't want these blurry transitions in my video.

Can anyone please suggest how I can record this movement with a proper focus?

Which has better Bokeh? 50mm or 35mm 1.8 nikon lens? - 1

Both lens i found are 200 bucks on sale

i am worried that 50mm would have a tight field of view

im considering the 35mm too but not sure which one to go for.

I saw both at the store and the 50mm looks more up to date in terms of build and design but obviously it comes down to the photo.

my main reason for a prime lens is to shoot with blurred backgrounds, especially of friends and family during parties.

ive read mixed reviews online, howver it seemed the 35mm seems more " popular" but canon doesnt even have a 35mm prime.

what do you guys think?
