At that particular lighting, the seppds at f/2 on ISO 400 were ranging from 1/2 sec to about 1/8 or alike, at these handheld wasn't probably appropate, so had to push it at least 2 stops to gain speeds (mostly shot at 1/30 wide open and occasionaly at f/2.8). Having said that, I'll indeed need to develop my low-light shooting skills... Your first picture looks indeed nice. The secodn one apparently exhibits hand shake though which is something to expect at such low speeds like 1/10.
