Don't be afraid to try it. Also, don't let the camera tell you what f stop. Open it up manually as you go lower and you will open up light.

I have to go back and check my settings but this is an example of one I recall shooting at least at 1/15, if not 1/8.

You shot that at 1/5, Carlos ... with a Point-and-Shoot (Canon PowerShot G1). Nice.
