Most of my day shots I expose to the right but during the night my histogram is always exposed to the left. Evidently this has to do with the amount of light available during the evening.
I take about every shot at ISO 100 if possible, the downside being that I have to up the exposure in post. Usually this increases the visibility of noise. When exposing to the right, exposure is pulled down in post and noise disappears in the dark. I prefer ISO 100 because that's when the cam performs best even when there's little light and colors visible. At 6400 I go from 14.5EV to some 9. Tone and color sensitivity decreases too.
I decided to test both approaches today and process them rather similar. There are the results:
No noise reduction besides the LE NR in cam and the standard LR applies.
