And I realized last night why I had thought the sign was never lit up: the store is usually closed by the time I ride by.Colburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717077649954087874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687594767741711928.post-81477736187180568822011-06-17T07:47:16.320-07:002011-06-17T07:47:16.320-07:00Either stabilize the camera (tripod or brace the c...Either stabilize the camera (tripod or brace the camera on something) or set a faster shutter speed. Even on a P&S, you may be able to force a faster shutter speed if you can set a higher ISO or set a "night mode". In any event, the shot you emailed isn't too bad for handheld.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542931247957198888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687594767741711928.post-71598648849667128272011-06-16T22:33:13.102-07:002011-06-16T22:33:13.102-07:00Boy, was I ever wrong---I should have double-check...Boy, was I ever wrong---I should have double-checked before commenting. In fact, most of the sign except for the pouring "liquid" does still get lit up. I tried to take a photo tonight, but it didn't come out too well---maybe next time I'll get off the bike and take more time. Any advice for shooting neon well at night?Colburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717077649954087874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687594767741711928.post-36963376081664321062011-06-14T17:34:35.448-07:002011-06-14T17:34:35.448-07:00Thanks for the info!

I thought you had already posted a photo of this a year or two ago, but I must have been confusing it with a different sign you shot a while back.Colburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717077649954087874noreply@blogger.com
