After watching the night photography video I wonder why the ISO wasnt mentioned and it looked like it was left on 100. Why would you not adjust that also?
@jannkc - You only really need to adjust ISO if you want to speed up the exposure time. Remember the higher the ISO the higher the digital noise. The best quality ISO is at 100 or less (many cameras have an iso 50 or 80 setting). As you are doing night exposures using a tripod the longer the exposure the better, so having ISO on anything but the lowest setting is really not relevant.
In short, adjusting the ISO at night when using a tripod is a fruitless exercise.
If you are at a party with a hand-held shot then putting the ISO up is a different matter. You need the exposure to be shorter so your hand movement does not ruin the shot. So the ISO at say 800 or 1000 will allow for the shot to be timed at 200th of a second, suitable for hand-holding. However, with many cameras that will lead to a picture with lots of digital noise.
Edward Scissorhands! Well, not as pretty ..... Johnny Depp....... mmmmm...
Oh, sorry! ...... :) Fun capture, very cool motion blur and love the expressions.

Does that help?
