While films are not as "grainy" as they were even 10 years ago, an 800 ISO film is still going to show quite a bit of grain. I would suggest that for a shot in similar lighting conditions use a slower film, tripod, and a cable or remote release. The slower film will require a longer exposure, so the use of the tripod and cable release will reduce blur. Hope this helps.

Great advice.

This is the sort of shot which requires a tripod - or at least placing the camera on something sturdy if you have no tripod with you.

If you have no cable release or remote release, you can just use the self-timer, if your camera has one. The short delay before the shutter snaps will give time for the motion from your finger to calm down.

When using such a setup, 800 speed film is totally unnecessary - even slow film will get the shot - & with a lot less grain.

I have lots of times taken such shots when a tripod was unavailable or inappropriate (say, European Cathedral interiors) by leveling the camera on whatever surface I could find using coins and such, and the self-timer. Works great.
