    I'll say you've figured them out. That's gorgeous. Good work. :)

    I tried again with different settings. ISO 400 f/9.

    also gave a open shutter a try.

    sorry about that, I actually meant to do that for you but I forgot.

    Nikon MC-30 Remote Cord - $54.95 (back ordered)


    Look around you maybe able to find this on ebay or another store somewhere... With a remote you can leave your shutter open for hours(depending on battery life). You can really experiment with night exposures. Anymore questions let me know, I am a Canon user so I don't know much about Nikons but I will help you out as much as I can.
