Check your manual for a "BULB" setting.

Saldo,

Time to reread the manual. In shutter priority mode you can select the time the shutter stays open from very short, something like 1/4000 of a second to up to 30 seconds. I'm not sure but the D50 may also have a B setting which means the shutter will stay open until you trigger the shutter again to close. Of course, for these kinds of shots you should use a sturdy tripod or otherwise stabilize your camera very well. Best to use the delayed shutter action to eliminate camera shake from you tripping the shutter or use a remote so no shake at all happens.

I guess I just missed that one page. Thanks for the help. I haven't been using a SLR camera long and I'm just learning how to use all the different settings.

Saldo,

You're welcome. You got yourself a great camera and the more you learn to use it, the more you will love it.
