A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Night Photography (alien.top)

Hello, I started photography during thanksgiving with a Canon EOS R10 with a RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM kit lens. I tried to shoot some photos during the night but all my pictures came back extremely dark and grainy.

I've read that the R10 is a crop sensor camera, which is not the best for low light photography when compared to a full frame camera, but I also read that there really isn't much of a difference these days anyways.

How can I improve my night time photography pics to make them brighter and less grainy?

Is there a big difference in night photography performance when compared to a Full Frame camera?

In this case, the lens is your "weak" point. I'm not a Canon guy so I don't know all the models, but I'm reading that the r10 is decent in low light. If you can possibly find an inexpensive prime (not zoom) lens with a faster aperture (low f number, like f1.8 or below, or even f2) you'll immediately see a massive improvement.
