Nice pics. One and two really stood out. Third one
a little overexposed but still pretty nice.
I've had lots of problems trying to get correct exposure
with night shots but will keep working at it lol.

Thanks Mandrake. Yes 59 seconds it was! I used cable release and camera on bulb mode. I set stop watch on my cell phone and once it was 59 seconds, I released the shutter.

I like the second photo the best because of the people.
They are a bit more prominent with just a little PSE work.

I just noticed that your shutter speed on this was 59 seconds. Really!
In that case... truly an amazing shot.

Thanks Silky. My metering mode is almost always matrix unless if am taking potraits.

deensani;
Great shot, to me the first and second are very good shot even with the people there other wise you need an extra-time when people go to sleep. Beside almost not noise.
Perhaps with more time and bias to -3 step it will be terrific. Which was your metering mode?
I like all even the three has a til to the right that can be correcte, and a litle of re-composition with less first plane.

I like the second picture but i think the people sitting there are little distracting , and i would have took the whole building into the picture (the building's upper part seems like its cut out)...but great shot though!!

Thanks Wizpc for your feedback. I touched the 3rd picture a bit in photoshop out of fear that it was under exposed unknown to me that I actually damaged the image. The other 2 photos didn't go through any post processing apart from resizing.

I really like the first one, but as you opened up the aperture it seems to get a little harder on the eyes, a bit blown out.
I do like the wider view of the second 2 maybe little less exposure would have cut the brightness some.
Thanks fer sharin!

So tired aftera hectic day, so I just decided to take some long exposure night photos this evening. I used Nikon D5100 with a kit lens 18-55mm.
The first photo: ISO 100, F13, 58 seconds, 18mm focal length
The second photo: ISO 100, F10, 59 seconds, 18mm
The third photo: ISO 100, F11, 30 seconds, 18mm
