Is it worth upgrading my Nikon lenses?

I currently have a Nikon D40 with the 18-55mm f/3.5 kit lens (no VR), and a 55-200mm telephoto (also no VR). I'm looking to get more into photography and I don't know if I should upgrade my lens and/or my body. Would it be worth it to get better lenses or a body? I was thinking about getting the same lenses but the newer versions with VR. I'm into a lot of types of photography. I haven't really found my niche yet but so far I like street, scenery, and portrait photography.

Nikon D80 and 'waterfall' picture?

I am a novice photographer. I have a Nikon D80 and a tripod that I would like to use for taking a 'waterfall' picture (examples here: http://ipad.wallpaperswiki.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Blue-Waterfall-Costa-Rica.jpg) where the falling water gets blurred. I have seen several answers that describe this, but none easy enough for me to follow since either they describe what to do with a different camera or it was not step-by-step and easy to follow.

Can someone describe what should I do to take a such picture step by step using D80 buttons and controls?

Thanks very much for helping me out.

Miranda RE2 camera battery, do I really need one?

I just picked up a Miranda RE2 from a yard sale for super cheap. The guy of course claimed it worked even though it doesnt have a battery because the battery was just for the light sensor thing. I havn't gone out to get any film yet because I wanted to ask the internet about the battery thing.

Was the guy telling the truth? Will this thing work without the battery? I might look into getting one/a suitable substitue eitherway eventually because the light sensor thingy sounds like a neat feature, but until then I'm very happy to do without.

It seems to be in great condition otherwise.

Should I start a YouTube?

Ok. So I've been thinking about starting a YouTube channel. I have a Nikon d3200 and I've had a lot of experience with social media ex: Instagram, tumblr, etc. And I've had 14k on Instagram with "tumblr" pictures, oh god I regret that phase. And I have 2k currently on Instagram because my 14k got disabled. I am a 13 year old and I saw that someone that was 13 (Ella elbells) monetizes her videos. I thought you had to be 18? Is this true? Obviously I have some experience. But I'm kindve scared of what my parents will say. I think that they will say yes considering I have told them about my Instagram and such. I'm also kindve scared that the people at my school will make fun of me. Will they? Thanks so much:)

Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 too heavy?

I'm upgrading from a nikon d300 to a d610 and I'm torn about buying it with the kit lens or buying body only and buying the 24-70 2.8. Obviously the 24-70 is the better performing lens, but I'll be travelling to the uk for the first time and I'm just worried the lens would be too heavy to cart around all day. Also, my hands aren't the steadiest and the 24-85 does have vr (for static subjects)

My only fx lens at the moment is the 50mm 1.8 and that isn't a good travel lens as it's not wide enough

Any thoughts?
