Long exposure on a Nikon D50?

I have just bought a Nikon D50 and wanted to try out the long exposure with water. How ever I set the settings on:
Manual
ISO 200 (the lowest)
Aperture on F 22 (the highest)
Shutter speed about 5 seconds.

Every time the photos come out bright white on these settings. It really puzzles me and even my A Level photography teacher. The weather is usually bright and sunny (I believe this could be a contributing factor) It is fine with light trials in the dark. Could anyone shed any light on this for me as I cant find anything to help me. Thanks alot.

Nicu Portrait Photography?

Hello! I have my first NICU portrait session coming up in October. I'm still learning my camera but was wondering if someone can help me with what settings to use while in this type of setting.
I have a Nikon d3100 with a 50mm 1.8g lens as well as a 60mm Macro lens.
I usually shoot on P but would love to learn how to change aperture and focal lengths to make this session a success!

Thank you in advance!

Good macro lens for Nikon D5100?

At the moment I am using a reversing ring with some old Miranda lenses (for Olympus OM10) and i managed to photograph this: http://500px.com/photo/83276997/red-beetle-by-lewis-charlton?from=user_library

The picture is ok but as you can see its not in great detail.

So i want to get a decent Macro lens for my D5100 that is not overly expensive and can take pictures like this: http://500px.com/photo/80793981/the-eye-by-bug-eye-)?from=user

Nikon kit lens and Nikon 50mm 1.8D manual focus feel and behavior?

It's always been my dream to own a prime lens.

Does a 50mm 1.8D have the same manual focus "feel" as the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens? I accept the fact that I'd have to manually focus a 50mm 1.8D lens on my D5100. But if it feels the same as manually focusing an 18-55mm kit lens, then I might as well skip on buying 1.8D.

P.S. I don't have a budget for 1.8G and I thought the 1.8D may be greatly useful both for my Nikon digital and film camera.

So, should I give it a green light? Thanks!
