St. Mary's Catholic Church Texas City

A friend asked me to take some night shots of this beautiful Church for a gift to the church, it was a challenge as the bright white brick wall with the name of the Church was so bright. Here are a couple, I finally took some underexposed shots and pasted the name. Never really got it right and have not used the HDR on my 6D yet.

You have done an excellent job Larry..well done.
Thanks, I was not prepared and will go back if necessary, think they want the first one.
I shot in Aperture Priority and without going to Manual Mode I could only underexpose by 3 stops for the white wall.

These look good... Tough subject with the bright sign, though, as you noted. You did what I'd try, which would be to under-exposure the whole scene, then work with it in post. My attempt would be to use the illuminated sign to set the exposure. The rest of the scene would then be somewhat under-exposed, but it can be selectively brightened in Lightroom or PS or similar.

Pretty much what I did. I was working quick as it was getting light and also, some of the lights are set on timers and go off. It is why you scout out a place first which I did not although I have been by there at night just did not click to the brightness of course until shot number 1.
