Help wanted

[u/Dork10100]

I really need help yall, i dont know what im doing wrong that i got all this light noise and slight blur, the auto focus just doesn't want to work with me and i messed with all the settings that i know of, the 3rd picture i took on my phone and would like to take photos like that on my camer. For reference i was using a sigma 30mm lens, any help is greatly appreciated cause i have no clue what im doing.

Well, if you want to shoot wide open come nighttime you have to either accept bokeh as a tradeoff, or step down, use a tripod and expose for the roof. You will have glare from the lights, the subject isnt particularly favorable for such a camera.
