I found adjusting the 'colour balance' in photoshop really helpful to counter the orange street lamp colour in your night photos, sometimes the white balance settings on the camera can help too, nice pics

you need to play with your light-balancing for the night shots, it'll stop you getting the manky yellow off the street lights and give you proper colour. Use ACR on your raw images.
btw, some really nice pics there

Hi mate
Some nice pictures there. See you're using a Canon now?
Hope you don't mind but I've spent a few minutes in photoshop this morning to play with a few of them
Your original
White balance adjustment
Your original
Crop, levels, highlights and some tilt shift blur (I should have done the shadow on the offside front corner too - duh)
Your original
White balance, hue and saturation adjustments
They're just quick rush edits to give you an idea. Shooting indoors is hard without pro lighting but a tripod really helps here. That indoor 911 shot would have been awesome on a tripod using a long exposure with the background people blurred as a result.
Do you have raw conversion software? if so you may want to look at shooting raw images rather than JPEG's and editing there
Some great composition though. Keep them coming

Most of old pics were Jpeg i think ( The edits on them are all wrong lol ) , these recent ones are all RAW converted to Jpeg , I haven't edited them too much except cropping and adjusting white balance and couple other things . I like them to be natural if you can call it that. Yes bought Canon M with 22mm lens , i'm not too deep in this subject , just like taking pics Canon is perfect size for my needs , can carry it everywhere without carrying a separate suitcase if that makes sense.

Looked at the Canon M too as I had lots of lenses, but doing that and keeping them kind of defeated the point of changing
