Thanks again rbarry, I can see where you're coming from now. My thinking was that by opening the aperture as wide as possible, I would achieve the faster shutter speed anyway and also blur out any distracting background. We don't have as much trouble with poor light down under as you do up top so unless I particularly want a large dof I keep the aperture fairly wide.
I will try and remember to use the rule of thumb (one over the focal length) and increase it when necessary to gain a sharper shot. I've read your post several times and it's helped me a lot. I must spend more time thinking about my shots and settings.
I'm getting there.
Cheers.
Martin.
