Street Lamp Photography exposure? Higher ISO & Lower Shutter Speed or Lower ISO & Higher Shutter Speed? - 1

I'm struggling to get the correct amount of exposure. Street Lamp lit area has enough light. But in shadow ares i'm having a hard time recovering detail. I do not want to go really high in ISO as I have a crop sensor. Lens is wide open at f2.8. When I try to get more detail with a higher shutter speed 1/10 I get too much flaring around the lamp? What is the best way to go about it?

ISO 800 , 1/30 and f8 woudl that be a better way to get aroudn it? My nikon d5300 shows too much noise after 800 ISO

You Can't expose properly for the light itself AND the surrounding area it is lighting at the same time, no matter what settings you use. A camera can't adjust for massive light ranges like our eyes can. It is as simple as that. If you are trying to get it all in one photo, then there will HAVE to be compromise somewhere.

The only way to do what you want is to do an HDR photo, (high dynamic range). Are you not familiar with HDR? You place the camera on a tripod and take several photos, changing the exposure in the photos so that all areas are properly exposed. The group of photos are then combined in software made for this purpose, though Adobe Photoshop has some capability to do it. The resulting finished photo then has all areas properly exposed.

Look up and learn about HDR photography if you are lacking knowledge about it.

Your terminology for shutter speed is a little confusing. For a given light level a higher ISO would require a faster/shorter shutter speed and a lower ISO needs a slower/longer shutter speed at the same aperture.

It would be impossible to correctly expose a photo containing very dark and bright areas without some under- or overexposure. So you would either have to get a tripod and take photos of the scene at a number of different exposures and combine them in an editor (HDR, basically) or expose more for the darker areas and live with an overexposed light. Depending on the scene you could try a graduated filter to even things out a bit, but the streetlight would still be overexposed.

But you do have a digital camera so you can take a methodical set of photos at a range of exposures and you can immediately see the effects.

Using the max and especially the smallest aperture will often induce lens flare. Use an f/stop somewhere in the middle like f/8 or f/11 instead. Of course doing so will mean having to use a tripod if you aren't using a stabilized system.
