I still see noise
and the more noise reduction you apply the more detail you lose
but I think you could use more aggressive noise reduction anyway, it’s worth it to get false colours out
in the future, a) bring a tripod, b) a fast lens, c) a camera with IBIS or d) use a slow shutter speed *instead of* pumping the ISO up.
if you bring a tripod, your shots will be sharp at slow shutter speeds and you will be able to shoot at ISO100, but you’ll have to carry a tripod
if you bring a fast lens, you may be able to shoot at ISO100 but you will have very soft details (which may benefit this kind of lighting)
you may not have a camera with IBIS so you may have to spend some coin but it could be worth it if you do a lot of handheld photography at night. in conjunction with a fast lens this could help you avoid needing to increase ISO
alternatively you can slow the shutter speed down on whatever camera & lens combo you have until enough light is getting to the sensor at 100ISO & whatever aperture you choose. it will be “abstract.” sometimes it looks bad, sometimes good. it’s worth experimenting.
ISO is a volume knob. it doesn’t increase how much light is reaching the sensor, only aperture and shutter speed adjustments do that. sperg out over.
