Saturday Night Photoshoot
thats not bad. obviously the tripod shadow but thats something that you dont realize till its too late. its happened to me and its the last thing going through your mind when your shooting.
some suggestions, i saw in the exif that your shooting at iso800, i could probably shoot at iso1600 handheld and get the same shots. if your gonna be using a tripod (which you should be) set your iso to 100 and just use the shutter speed to get exposure. also, your f/x is good for most pictures but your not really looking for a quick/DOF feeling so i say bump it up to about f/8 where the lens is probably at its sharpest, again, use the shutter speed to compensate for light.
judging from the exif data i would recomend iso100, mayber f/8 or f/10 and just bump the shutter speed from 4.1 seconds to 7-12 and see what you come up with. also, i see some motion blur in some of the pics, im pretty sure the d80 can do it so put the 2 second timer for every pic. the pressure from your finger causes enough motion blur for long exposures to be noticed.
and erik, get that photomierda out of here. whats the temp on that pic, like 2000? (:

). once u pass 400, the picture gets noisy.i'm not a photoshop expert so i don't know how to remove the tripod shadow. some people hate HDR with a passion but i love it and so does harris(his avatar is an HDR shot of mine
)! here's my attempt on editing two of the shots. the quality of my edit is not the best because i don't have the original files to work with 
but still that is a badass camera and lens you have since the quality of the picture still looks that good with an ISO of 800 and after being processed, downgraded, and posted from photobucket.

You could always use the "that's just what happens when you get miles on it. The springs settle down after being used a while" line.
