what are you wanting at night.

use flash or long exposure iso generally needs to come up to get ambient in for some stuff but not for others etc..

I shoot manual

Lower your ISO to about 400 and then make sure you use a really wide aperture. also you want to be using a slow shutter. take a few photos using various shutter speeds with a wide aperture n iso400 and see what the outcome is. Also when doing this use a tripod!!

lemme know

ps. use adobe photoshop lightroom. its great!! can get the free trial on the adobe website
