levels and/or curve, vibrance, white balance, black, select color, brightness and contrast, noise reduction (if grain is present). Those are bareessentials for me, but the list goes on...

I Love AF1, I love that technique. It's good to see people use creativity in the photo making process.
Last night, the moon was big and tonight it's a full moon so if you want to do some lunar photography, be ready tonight.

It should. I shoot with a 55-250 and it comes out alright. I wish I had a longer focal length, but after I crop the shots come out good.

Get a good tripod. Stability in the wind is useful - a little shake on the picture just knocks off the sharpness.
Have a think about what you want to be exposed properly and what will be shadow - you can't get everything even if there is lighting involved - if youexpose for the dark stuff your highlights will get blown out. Basically expose so that the brightest part of the picture isn't overexposed.
Watch the white balance - artificial lighting can do funny things. I like to shoot raw and then tweak it afterwards - although the tungsten preset oftenisn't bad.
Keep the ISO low to reduce noise.
Get a little flashlight - I keep a solitair Maglite in my camera bag - really useful for checking settings.
If it's really dark a flash or even just a flashlight can do interesting things - you can add light to areas or change the color by using a gel or filter.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head. It's not that hard though - once you have your tripod stable and you've metered appropriatelythere's not much to go wrong.

To add to what kdwallace said...try shooting in aperture or shutter priority or even manual. I like playing with the settings and exposures.
shooting at night is fun, especially when playing with lighting. Even a single stop or a second of exposure can change what you are shooting. I took somelight trails recently (on top of an overpass catching traffic down below), I know this is pretty basic but it was the first time that I've done it,I'll post it when I get the chance (I cant upload while im at work).
I recently bought a shutter bug magazine (not the monthly issue) and they had a special on exposure and taking night pictures. pretty good read IMO, well notbad for $6.

nyrican23, clean integra up there. Is it yours? I saw one like that today, but in blue.
I really like your first shot as well. I think that if the tongue took up more space in the second photo that it may have come out better.
The poles in the third shot cut off the front of the car, so it's kind of ruins the shot IMO. I think that you should have gone on the other side where thepoles wouldn't block the car and taken the picture. Also, if you turned your photo Portrait style for the last shot with a bigger aperture it would havecome out better as well. I like the viewpoint being used though.
Just curious, what are you shooting with?
