So, camera shake will be more evident with smaller apertures? I have been shooting hand-held, but I do everything I can to minimise that (lean against something, hold my arms close to my chest etc.) and both lenses I have are equipped with VR (vibration reduction).
I'm not suggesting you're wrong, it might well be that; as I stated I'm not certain what the problem is. I'll certainly take your advice and see what happens at f/8.
I didn't have a tripod, but I bought one yesterday and although it's not an expensive one, it's nice and sturdy with a quick release head included. I'll see if using that makes a difference too.
Thanks very much for your help. I really would like to know what the problem is so I can avoid it, obviously, but don't have the experience to guide me.
