Set the Nikon to Manual mode. That is the only way that you can shoot in bulb mode.
Be sure your camera is in Manual and so is your focus.
Holding the camera like you are going to use it, turn the sub-command dial (the one in front, counterclockwise until you see bulb appear.
Get the remote control (ML-L3). These two steps are important to the process.
Set the camera on a tripod. Long exposures will not work as well if you shoot them handheld.
Hold down and turn the Main Command dial (back of camera) until the remote (or remote and timer) icon shows.
Prepare your shot. Put everything together the way you want it. Successful night shots take a bit more preparation than other ones.
Press the button on the remote once. This starts the image.
Press the button again. This ends the shot. Be aware that it will end the shot automatically after thirty minutes.
