Night time

Went for a wander with my middle brother and some friends, took this shot in a sports field after it had gotten dark.

Pentax K-x - 1/25 sec - f/0 - ISO 6400- ~75mm

Ambient light, after dark with stars just starting to appear.

Used GIMP to rescale. I don't know how one would use GIMP for noise reduction, or if I should use a different program. I'm sure if I ask google I'll be able to find out.

I couldn't even tell at the time whether everyone was in focus, and thought they looked over-exposed (because of the sky). I probably should have turned them around. I took some more photos under street light afterwards, and had crazy white balance adventures. It was too dark (I think) to get custom white balance to work, and no matter how far I adjusted using manual white balance there was still a cast (could be my fault, not knowing how to set it). When I did get something that worked the light would randomly change (noticeable in burst mode photos).
