Soldato
when you have a number of bright lights over-exposing parts of the rest of your image?
I was recently doing a canal scene at night with a house reflecting perfectly on the canal. Next to the house was an illuminated sign with writing on it that smudges due to the brilliance of the sign. If I under expose to compensate then the rest of the image will be too dark.
I had a similar problem with another image where everything was exposed correctly including the street lamps-but an illuminated clock on a building would not expose correctly to reveal its hands and numbers
