How did he do that?
Been noticing this neon on the back of Twin Dragon for a while. Seems like it might be new. Anyway this large neon has a glow that is beautiful. I had hoped to get at least a hint of the Oriental shape of the front sign in the pic as well, but the angles were not there. I waited for dusk and a rainey empty parking lot. Found both last Thursday.
Technically I used program to give me a starting place and then went to a shorter manual setting. Something close to 1/2 a second, with an fstop in the middle to get booth the reflection and the sign in focus. I did bracket a bunch to find the right combination. As I was finishing up a couple of workers came out to have a smoke. They added the last element to the image. Notice that I added a slight painterly filtering to give it what I hoped was a more romantic look.
