Why do my photos look noisy at night and how can I fix it?

[Outlaw]

Night photography always ends up with a lot of grain and noise for me. I try increasing ISO but that seems to make it worse. Is there a better way to handle low light shots?

High ISO causes that noise. The real fix is more light or longer exposure with a tripod like Amazon Basics 60-Inch Lightweight Tripod.

I started using a small LED light like UBeesize LED Video Light Kit and it reduced noise a lot.

Long exposure with a stable camera is key. Noise dropped massively once I stopped handholding at night.

You can also shoot RAW and reduce noise in editing but getting a clean shot first is always better.
