Did you use a high ISO for those top pics and then just touch them up in PS and/or Lightroom? I want to do some night shots but I don't know how to have them come out well-lit like that. I want to make sure I'm doing everything right with my camera settings (D5100) instead of just over processing everything in PS. You can message me so we don't clutter up the thread if you like.

To be honest I do not know that much about photography either, all I've picked up about night photography is that if you make your aperture as low a number as possible (I normally have it between F3.5-F5), and then have a play around with different settings of manual exposure (whilst using a tripod) you will get quite crisp colours and edges so very little work will need to be done on Lightroom (what I use).

I'm not skilled enough yet unfortunately to find a location and instantly know what level of manual exposure is needed. But in the past without changing the aperture I would need to take 5-10 second photos and there would be a lot of grain. Since altering that setting first, the pictures are between 1/3 - 3 seconds to take (battery life goes a hell of a lot further too now) with little to no grain.

Hopefully this info can help you guys out too.
