Put it on M-mode, that will give you the power over the shutter speed and f-stop. And under P-mode there should be an aperature priority mode. That allows you to adjust the f-stop and it will adjust the shutter speed for you accordingly. If you want to take pics like the ones posted, you need to get into M-mode.

M is full manual. You are in control of the shutter and f-stop. P mode is "Program Mode" which is some preset settings for you to take "ideal" pictures in different settings. I might be wrong about your camera having a Shutter or Aperature Priority mode.
There is no "should" when asking what ISO speed you should use. It all depends on what you want. A low ISO will be less sensative to light. A higher ISO will be more sensative to light. With a low ISO, you get less noise pickup. With a high ISO, you get more noise pickup.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. 
Brad, I was using M mode on my camera...I could change exposure, fstop, ISO, etc. Most were 10-15 sec. exposures, and 2.8-5.0 fstop. My ISO was 50 so it would be more clear.....I didn't need the extra light that a higher ISO would allow.
