i went out last night around town and took some pictures with a friend, and here are a few of them! it was slightly breezy last night, hence some blur in the leaves. plus i think i need to get some extension tubes for the macros.

That's one sorry looking worm :p

I've not tried long exposure night shots with digital. Hope you try out an extension tube.

What gear do you currently have?

i just have the d80 with the 18-135mm lens. i just recently got it over the summer. i was looking at other lenses but those cost and arm and a leg it seems, haha. so i read up a little on extension tubes and the post on here, seems like a good alternative for now to help me out.
