with a d/slr, well..if you've got one of those, chances are that you know how it works. manual mode, low ISO, and experiment.

If you lower the ISO setting, it will force a longer shutter speed. (The ISO is like the film speed in the good ole days - higher number = faster film which takes less to expose, but has a grainier image)
Mine is a point-and-shoot, but it has extensive manual options. For these kinds of photos, I put it in "Tv" which allows you to set the shutter speed (up to 15 secs!) and then it adjusts everything else based on that.

Long exposures at night:
Ye Olde Canon 300D/Digital Rebel + 28-135mm IS
DigiRebel + 28-135mm
DRebel + 28-135mm
Normal exposures, still at night (NO flash):
Canon 30D + 10-22mm @ ISO 1600
Canon 30D + 70-200 f/2.8L IS @ ISO 1600
Canon 5D + 85mm f/1.2L II @ ISO 1600
5D + 85mm f/1.2L II @ ISO 1600
Shooting at night is a blast, especially shooting normal exposure times. I do a lot of portrait shoots at night, with no flash.
If you guys are shooting for star trails, try opening up your aperture as wide as it'll go (24mm f/1.4 makes an awesome star trail lens) and stack a few 1 or 2 minute exposures. You can get some awesome stuff with nice, long trails.

ok for my final i have decided to do S.F. by Night. i just got home from my first take at it... here's some teasers.. these have no way been edited or otherwise photoshopped. i just got home an want to goto bed, but know if i dont post them know, it wont happen.
i need to go in and add contrast to a couple spots and change the white balance to get rid of the redness.... i'll update it later, like i said its a teaser...

Here are a couple I took last week in Austria, I couldn't sleep and had a good view from my hotel room.
The tripod was on a slightly shaky surface, but still looks cool
