In previous posts, I've written about raising the ISO setting to help the camera "see in the dark." But this is not necessary if two things are present: 1) your subject is stationary and 2) your camera is stationary. When neither the camera (on a tripod) nor the subject is moving, then the exposure time can be as long as necessary to gather light.
In the night exposure here, I kept the ISO at 100 to prevent noise and used a six second exposure to record the outside of the building and sign.
