I had the chance to attend this year's WesterCon (FiestaCon in Tempe Arizona) where I decided to make my first tries at night photography. This was on the street in front of the convention hotel. This was an 18 second exposure at f29 and 200 ISO. You might notice that the parking sign is not the 'standard' color scheme. This isn't an exposure problem, Tempe decided to change the colors after realizing that the standard parking sign colors were similar to the team colors of their rival U of A in Tucson.

I wonder what sort of image you would get if you concentrated on that parking sign? Could you try cropping to produce a vertical image with the the sign the focus of attention and post it here.

Pulling in close on the sign, even in the original full frame showed a bit too much noise for my taste (and trying to remove the noise lost too much detail). But your thought did inspire some playing around with possible crops, eventually picking one that's a verticle strip that pulls closer to the lamp post/crosswalk sign that overlaps the parking sign. It should be posted momentarily.
