When I first started out seriously with digital photography back in 2013, everything I read and learned was you must use a tripod and keep your ISO to 100 as much as possible. This was the only way you would have clean and noise free images. There was a lot of truth to that advice back then. Boy has the photography world changed since then. The camera sensors have become much better at gathering more light and less noise at the higher ISO settings. Technology in the camera industry has improved tremendously in the last 5 to 8 years. Now we can shoot at much higher ISO's while still maintaining very good image quality. There are many times now when I'm doing more action shooting without the tripod and leave my camera on Auto ISO without worrying about image outcome. It's very liberating to be sure!
Another great change with the high ISO image quality problem is the big push in image processing software. Adobe has added noise reduction software to their very popular Lightroom and Photoshop software. Another digital imaging processing software company called Topaz Labs has a noise reduction piece of software that is fantastic at removing noise from high ISO images. I use this software all the time and with it's AI processing, all but removes any noise from the processed images.

I don't really worry about my ISO settings like I used to and I know I can most always produce clean high dynamic range images no matter what ISO they were shot at. I would never have thought about shooting at high ISO just a few short years ago, but no problem now! I suggest you try bumping up your ISO when it makes sense in your lower light conditions and see what Technology has done for us!
