going to have to use the widest aperature your camera has, as well as a high ISO. still going to have a long shutter time so you will need to support the camera using a tripod or any other steady surface. using a remote to trigger the camera is good so that your hand does not cause any shaking, or use the self-timer if you dont have a remote or a cable release. flash is always good if you dont mind the harsh lighting.

well, if you use a tripod and nothing is moving you don't need the wide aperature or the high ISO. A remote is very good to have. These are all low light:
  
Use of a camera is really dependent on what you are going for.
This is also low light but the desired effect was to have motion blur so nothing to steady the camera:
And this was low light so I had to push everything as I was trying to stop the action. No tripod and had to have quick shutter speed so I used ISO 800 and underexposed all the images. Lots of noise which really ruined the images for me, but a good lesson learned - sometimes you have to know when not to bother. :)
 
Got tons more - I love tense lighting situations, but I think I've covered a lot here... :)

i saw you shooting with a pocket camera.. it should have really open f/stop.. 2.8 if im not mistaken? anyway there are two ways to get a low light shot:
1.. as rcommended to you alrealdy is a "Tripod" and i think that the best one.
2..Camera setting/lens.. which means: high ISO,Wide F/stop,or even "Image stabilizer" (at the lens)
here are some examples:
this one is tripod:
this one is high Iso and Image stabilizer:
extreme low light
 
this one is with Iso 400 and F/1.8
its a good example to show how f/1.8 is doing in focus.

If you learn how to hold your camera none of that is necessary. The high ISO I would stay away from like the plague unless I was shooting action. There simply is no need for it otherwise. Tripods? Use them whenever possible.
This was shot handheld, 1/5 sec, ISO 160, f/4 with an 85/1.2 mounted on a 1Ds.
I know. Someone is bound to ask why if I had a 85/1.2 mounted on the camera would I shoot at f/4, especially in low light. Look at the angle of the girl's head for your answer.

If you paid member you can put up clickable thumbnails like the previous responders. If not you can find a site that you can sign up for that may offer free space and you can put a link to your photos.
