its digital (D70) at ISO800 and underexposed... i had only the kit lense with me and no external flash and tripot, so i worked with higher ISO and underexposed by 1 step to get a decent shutter time. bringing the exposure back in post processing also increases the grain.... its a tricky shooting situation, insides the building its really gloomy and dark but when you use a flash a lot of the colour combinations get lost... so next need a faster lense and a tripot...

i like the amount of information included in this frame, makes a wonderful story of this scene. i think the grain/noise is not a major distraction here.
