If anything it was underexposed a bit which made it work. I am pretty sure that it was 1/30th might have been 1/20th, doubt whether it was much slower because of the lack of shake. I seem to recall ssetting up for the shots thinking thoughts along the line of "need more than 1/60th at 3.5 here!, need something equivalent to f2 at least so open the shutter for a deal longer..", which I think got me to something like 1/30th. Ther are a group of shots of which this is the one I most like all underexposed in relation to the real scene, but as pictures in themselves I like them.
