 This is my first entry to this site.

I'd doesn't compare to any of the others I see here, but I thought I'd put it in all the same.

I was thinking that it I pretty odd to see a neon sign in a coffee shop, considering they're all Starbucks-like nowadays with big comfy chairs etc. The idea of having a neon sign purring in the background just didn't seem to fit with the way coffee shops are being branded as idyllic places to relax.

Still, to get as much of the background light out as possible, I used one-spot metering...and a pair of sunglasses put in front of the lens! Maybe I'll get votes for creativity!!

what a groovy neon sign! i like the sign, and the colors. for such a groovy sign, the straight-across photo does not lend much excitement or energy to the image. i would be interested in seeing what this image would be like if captured from different angles. that may help to off-set the large amount of black background as well...

Interesting picture. The other lights under the sigh are distracting though.
