I have a NikonD50 and for some reason when I take photos in low light enviornment its like the camera tries to compensate and the shutter speed is extremely slow. Also when it takes the photo it looks nothing like what I intended. How do I capture a shot at night just like how it looks?
First, you need a tripod.
Second, your camera must be in Manual Mode so you can set shutter speed and f-stop.
Third, you’ll need a cable release for exposures longer than 30 seconds. For long exposures your shutter setting will be on "B" which allows you to keep the shutter open as long as you want.
Suppose you want to photograph a city skyline in the distance after dark. Using my trusty FotoSharp (fotosharp.com) Day & Night Exposure Guide, Scene # 14, we find:

I really want to purchase a Nikon d50 but it doesn’t have a DOF preview button. Is this a necessary part of a dslr or can you live without it? Should I pay extra $$$ for something like the nikon d70 instead? I think the Nikon d50 would be perfect but without the button I’m not positive.
I had a D70 and I’m still mourning its loss. I think it has DOF preview but I never used it. Honestly to me that feature is just not necessary. It only takes a few photos for you to get accustomed with what kind of DOF you get at different appertures and under different lighting conditions. Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see how that feature would make much difference since the viewing screen is relativelly small.

I have a NikonD50 that I just bought in May, and I finally have time to mess around with it. Can anyone give me the rounds on my first dSLR?
All that information is in your manual.
BKT is your backlight button. It slightly over exposes the metered setting and thus opens up the shadow area in back lit parts of the image.
EV settings make adjustments in exposure on every shot you take. When shooting on the beach in bright sun or snow this is the time to use the EV adjustments to correct for the slight under exposure caused by the highly reflective nature of sand and snow.
Since film is cheap and you can experiment all you want. Just start shooting and use all the various controls on your cameras …take notes on what you do and what the results are so you can duplicate the skills you have learned.

I’ve seen this done with a Hasselblad camera but I don’t know what the cord is called that I need and if they make it for the NikonD50.
Use the same USB cable that you use to connect your D50 to your laptop for downloading your photos. Then all you need is software, like Nikon Capture 4 and you can use the laptop to control the camera and capture directly into the software.
