Not sure if there's a type of name for these photos maybe some of you might know, My friend lent me his Canon EOS 60D for a week while he went to NYC and i pretty much messed with a lotta settings and came to love these kinds of pictures.

I took this myself.
If i remember it, i Put the shutter to "30seconds//ISO was prbly 300 or less & I can't remember the aperture

(Res is huge)

these shots are long exposures at nighttime.. you can do these setting your camera to manual mode. it looks little overexposed, but you easily adjust this using an image editor of your choice.
btw. any camera that has a manual mode can do this. :D

Thank for the info, yeah I played with the settings a lil more with couple other photos. I don't really have a program to edit photos because the camera wasn't mine so never really tooka lotta photos before. Unless using my lil CX110 camcorder for videos.

Here's another one i took

The last one would have been neat if it was in focus, the lights I mean. I too had a lot of fun taking night shots! :) If you're up to it, and there's a lightning storm, go to the outskirts of the city/place you're in and do the exact same thing here to capture the lightning!

Never thought I would be able to get it to focus on the lights, everything is pretty much all manaul. Yeah juts outside the city /w the lightning would be amazing. I had to give my friend back his camera already :( so no more DLSR back to my lil Handycam ahaha.
My goal was to get a nice photo of a highway @ nigth with these settings (Still iso the name of these type of night/streaming photos)

There isn't really a specific name for them, that I know of. They're just simply long exposure shots, which was mentioned above. :)
