I’ve seen neon flicker on a dozen different panels and it still looks the same to me. Tech can give you sharper detail and pull out colors that your eye might miss, but it’s only a tool. If you’re chasing the raw, imperfect glow, keep your camera light, don’t over‑process, and remember that a good lens can capture the hiss of the city better than any software ever will. And if the sensor starts to glitch, you’ll be left with a picture that looks like a glitch and the same old city. So use the tech, but don’t let it own the scene.

Nice approach. Keep the gear light and the edits minimal, that’s the best way to preserve the hiss. If the city starts to feel too sterile, add a little grain or split toning – it’s the small things that keep the life in the frame. Stick with it, and the glow will stay real.

Sure, as long as the battery’s topped and the lens is clean, I’m ready. Just keep the settings tight and the noise level low. Let’s make that neon hiss the star of the show.
