Lower iso is always best unless doing single shot astrophotography in which its generally iso 3200+ and 600/focal length to work out shutter speed to prevent stars from trailing.
You can have the wobbliest tripod in the world and as long as its not windy it will be perfect *IF* you leave it...
To get sharp shots you need to:
Focus manually! Yes AF is perfect for most shots but for landscapes, especially night you can't beat mf.
Use a sturdy tripod
Use a remote release or 10 second timer
Use mirror lock up or even better get rid of the flapping mirror ;)
Ensure more than adequate...
What lens were you using A-Cro?

Si these are 'grey' imports but i've just bought my SONY RX100 from them, no issues and theres no customs charges to pay either.
This is what CK has its very sharp at 200mm and very usable at 300mm http://panamoz.com/index.php/lens/nikon.html?p=5
this is £70 cheaper and if i'm being honest...
Yes the background was too bright and busy before so that has worked, the very bright 'point' light sources with the starburst filter 'effect' do distract somewhat from the car. First shot with the plain background was my fave.
Mmmm Nice cakes But.....
Remove the tray and shoot on that work surface. Look to the left of the frame I see a wire, look to the right half a tea cup! Move these first!
And try experimenting with your horizon line (where wall meets work surface) so that its in line with base of cakes. Also...
Some nice examples of street photography, having used film extensively myself though I can't see any reason why digital wouldn't at least equal if not better these images. I suppose I'm saying nice pics but no why the need for film, bar quirkiness?
