I have the greatest respect for Iliah, but I would like to see the detail
of this.
There are a bunch of night street videos made nowadays by amateurs, and
even pros, which show someone walking on the sidewalk below whatever lights
and signage a city has to offer. One can see the features of the model
clearly, but the luminous displays typically burn out - why would they not
retain detail if the highlights were treated better by higher in-camera and
processing DR and a high DR display?
