What can i do about the noise?

There is a lot of noise when taking photos in the dark, i tried playing around with the shutter speed, aperture and ISO but the noise doesnt go away fully. Sometimes the noise looks weird and is made out of pink, green, yellow pixels. Im looking for a way to take better photos with low light.

"Even a fancy technical marvel like a modern digital camera has its limits."

 

Often overlooked but very true. At some point a great properly focused and exposed photo withy great IQ is simply not going to happen. There are adjustment in Lightroom and Photoshop that deal with noise. There are other softwares available that do the same. Noise is a function of ISO. The higher the number the more noise that's it..

"No flash? That was my first thought."

 

Adding flash is almost never the answer. It generally causes more issues than it helps.

I have said right along post editing is where great photos are made. Not in the camera. Get the best shot you possibly can in camera and than let Photoshop do the rest.
