These are nice shots, but man the noise is really distracting. For low light shots like these, a tripod is a must have. If I had to guess, the ISO setting is well over 1200 by the look of your images. If you want to improve these types of shots easily, all you'll need is some fairly simple equipment and technique's.
-buy a tripod. Any tripod that's solid & steady will work fine.
-buy a remote trigger. (you can also use the self- timer to trigger the shutter)
-set the camera to manual mode
-set the aperture to f/11 or smaller and leave it there. (leaves a lot of the scene in focus)
-set the ISO to 100 or lower if possible and leave it there. (no noise)
-adjust the shutter speed for the shot and correct exposure. I usually start off with 1 second and push it up in half second increments until I get the shot.
That's it. If you do it right, you won't need post processing gimicks.
