How to deal with this

[markyboy.1967]

my photography isnt up to par.Folks, i dont do much landscape or cityscape type of photography but i went to Glasgow the other nightto try it out.Now although i like the scenery my photography isnt up to par.What i want to know for the next time is how do i deal with the spotlights on the Armadillo as they are burnt out on the image.I tried various things but all left me with more to do in photoshop and im trying to get as close as possible to getting it correct in camera..So how would deal with the issue--take multiply exposure/bracketing?

Yeah a real pain. It can be cloned out in photoshop but i dont want to start cloning until i exhaust all possible in camera fixes

I think the only thing you can do in this case is as you already said take multiply exposures and use a bit of photoshop layering

This would probably be my approach. This is an example where you want to get it right with the shot and do minimal work otherwise in PP.....

I tackle such scenes by using a graduated filter but reversed so the black bit is at the bottom. This reduces the likelihood of the lights completely blowing and enables a fair bit of colour in the sky. A two stop grad is what I use for night photography.
