'sup /p/, this is where I live. I know the tree on the right gets in the way, but this is the only angle no cars are coming. And I love the blue window top left.

what can I do to reduce noise? it's already at lowest Iso... and what are those white dots all over the photo? hot pixels?

Which white dots? If you mean the ones in the upper right, I think those are from massive spheres of nuclear plasma.

Also, this doesn't look that noisy to me. Your only bet at getting even less would be to upgrade to a better camera.

The white dots are dust on your lens. Get a lens cloth and go to work, gently, so as not to scratch it.

To reduce noise, there's a couple things you can do. The best option would be to buy software like Noise Ninja or Noiseware, that specialize in removing noise and work with Photoshop. The next would be to use in-Photoshop noise reduction.

Lastly, long exposures make noise, too, just like a high ISO speed. Play around with your camera- sometimes a slightly higher ISO and a lower shutter speed will make less noise, but it's usually the opposite in my experience.

Oh, damn, AC's right. Those are stars. Why did I look at stars and think dust?

Dust on the lens does *not* manifest itself as bright white dots on a night shot. What those specs are, look closely and you see they appear over the top half of the buildings as you go from top to bottom so they aren't stars, are hot pixels that start getting "fully binned" on the sensor. The longer the exposure and the smaller the sensor, the more you will see of the them.

The good news is that they can be specifically identified and removed by proper post-processing software and noise reduction software (Noise Ninja, Noiseware, Bibble Pro and its Hot Pixel Reduction feature, etc).

Photoshop or Gimp and the clone tool...
