Master Bed Room - dance show
Nikon D90, 35mm 1.8 - shot in RAW
Aperture Priority, with Flash, ISO 400, SS 1/60, f/3.2
Exposure Bias +5/3

I had built a diffuser for my pop-up flash so that I could use the flash without getting the "flashy" look. Using the histogram as a reference I adjusted the EV until the exposure was good.
