I'm having trouble getting this sort of ''action shot'' in proper focus. I know I have better odds going for a deeper depth of field, but I really want a shallow depth of field, high shutter speed capture, and I can't count on continuous focus on my camera because it's either too slow to be reliable or it might focus on something else along the way (like this post in my pic). Is the best solution to have the camera stationary in my desired composition and set to manual focus (with focus peaking aid) into the open space where the action is expected to take place? Or am I retarded and there is a better way?
