What went wrong? Pictures in night setting
I recently started doing street photography in darker settings.
Since I am new here and I don't know how else to show you the pictures i have questions about here is a post i made to reddit just now with the same question with pictures:

I am using a Zenit-E with a helios 58mm f2 lense. I believe i used 1/30 for exposure with open diaphragm. For film i used Portra 400. My question is, why i get so much general background noise and how do i choose better camera settings or film for this kind of photography? and how to reduce the noise since generally 1/30 seems to work otherwise (picture 3)
Thank you guys in advance!

Welcome to FC ! If you want to discuss any photo's you better place these here at our community instead of placing them elswhere.
Okay I posted them to my profile since I don't know how to post them in this thread.

First question: are these analogue pictures ? ( made by film ) it would help the onlookers to say something about them if you add some more information about camera used, shuttertime, iso etc etc. Further it is a good idea to contact other users by commenting on their pictures, that is after all the idea of a community.

Film Grain: Portra 400, while excellent, will exhibit grain, especially when pushed or underexposed. In low light, you're likely underexposing, which amplifies the grain during development and scanning.https://www-sunpass.com
