Yesterday I was at my parents house and since I had time I wanted to take some photos to test my 1520 in low light conditions - so I was looking for stuff around the house to photograph and suddenly I noticed an object attached to the house wall! It was a flower holder! Sorry if I don't really, know how to explain, since my English isn't that good! :) See image below

I was surprised when I saw a gap on top of it and believe or not, but it was just PERFECT fit for my Nokia Lumia 1520, so I used it as a tripod!
At last I had a chance to test out long exposure shots. I decided to make 4 second exposure at different ISO values!
As you can see, I didn't have a choice to move my "tripod" around, but it's good enough to make a test!
All images are stored on mediafire as I don't like to upload them to my Flickr timeline! All photos was made with different ISO and 4 second exposer all other settings was on auto, except for flash, which was off!
Lighting didn't change as you can see it is night - except last photo with ISO of 4000 where one of street laps went dark! All photos was converted from DNG to JPG using Lightroom 5.3
Lets start with ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 and 4000:

ISO 4000 DNG UPDATE (07-02-2014) Here you will be able to see my "tripod" better!
Conclusion: In my opinion, best option here is ISO 400! I don't see any difference in ISO 800 and 1600 - which is strange! Of course in this scene snow is helping with light a lot, so I will try to repeat this test without snow when I have a chance! Hope you did find this article useful! More will come! :)
