Hey Guys,
We're heading out to check the lights in this gigantic hotel/convention center. The Christmas display is huge here. They started decorating with lights in July. My question is, what are the best settings or techniques to make sure I get the best photos? The areas are huge with a skylight conservatory style. This is basically an indoor city. I want to make sure the Christmas lights really stand out. I know this is generic and I am asking a lot, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the link to the Gaylord Hotel

Btw. All those photos here are looking very flat. Perhaps you should try to make photos with different exposures and put them together afterwards.
