Last night I noticed the nice saturation of the sign at the local movie theater. I also like the contrast with one of the trees in the parking lot. Unfortunately the street lights didn't light the tree well enough to get quite the effect I wanted, but I tried various things, including multiple shots for HDR, and using a flash to illuminate the tree and not the sign.

I think that what I'm going to need to do is to get some strobes set up to the side of the tree, close but out of the frame, so that I can bring up the illumination on the tree to more closely match the sign, but not have the flat lighting of the flash mounted in the shoe.

I'm interested in feedback as to what worked in these various attempts, what didn't, what I might try, or whether this shot is merely a clever idea without actually being a good idea.
