Dark is transformed. Unlike the US, flash photography was NOT prohibited. Lots of people were using flashes during the presentations. I used a flash here. However, the backdrop scrim was actually a giant projector screen, so it threw the entire flash beam right back into my camera, blowing out the background. That's why this shot looks kind of strange. I eventually went back to my normal practice of shooting in available light, because it preserves the lighting better, even though it's really hard to avoid blurriness with the slow shutter speed and telephoto lenses.
