Taking photos of nixies is not very easy, and can be challenging. I use a box of styropor and place the nixie inside. I have a flash directed to the roof of the box, so the light will hit the withe roof and reflect back inside the case, this gives a filling light and does not create any flares of so. I also use a rather long exposure (1/50 to 1/25 second) so the glow has enough time to fill the picture. The only thing i do in post-processing is slightly adjusting the exposure for different digits - and cutting/rotating of course.
