How to photograph bright signs at night?
I just got back from a trip to Japan. I'm not 100% happy with some of the night photos I took. They've got a nice vibe, but all of the illuminated signs have a bright glow around them, making it hard to read the text.
Normally I take landscape photos while hiking, this was my first time doing night photography, and the rain might also have been a factor. Was there something I missed when taking these photos?
I used Aperture Mode (f8 for first two, f2.8 for last two) on my A7RV with a Tamron 20-40mm lens. No filters or post-processing beyond the camera's built-in "Vivid" creative style.
