Update: I finally tried pushing Portra 400 to 800 in a dim cafe

I was shooting inside a place called The Daily Grind with my old Minolta and thought I'd have to use flash, but decided to just rate the film higher and develop normally. The grain got a bit more noticeable but the shadows kept detail and the mood stayed perfect, which surprised me. Has anyone else had good results pushing color negative film in low light without a tripod?

Just a heads up, you actually pulled the film, not pushed it. Pushing is when you develop longer. Still, cool it worked out for you.

Actually @loganprice, pushing film can also mean rating it higher when you shoot. I rated my Portra 400 at 800 and developed normal, which a lot of people call pushing.
