Trying to take actions shots and struggling with that, damn it!

OK, so what I have figured out is that I need to start with a focal point and set my "sights" on that and then have REALLY good timing. I was simply trying to click when the dog was in the focus box and while that MIGHT work if I had great timing, it could take some practice. Better to focus on a spot on the ground, some grass..............OK, maybe grass isn't the best, it's ALL grass out there, LOL!! Some different clump?



This series is awful......

 You can see where the camera is focusing on the grass ahead of him, so I should have been more patient until he was closer...............

 This one is better, but maybe 6 inches closer and it would be perfect?.....

 Not sure why this isn't totally clear, the grass at his feet look in focus? ............


 Damn, he is just SO cute!!! Must get this figured out!!!


 I guess I really need a better focal point? I am going to keep at this and practice some more.
These were all taken with the "8 high speed bursts". So, hopefully ONE will be clear. Not yet, will keep trying. These last ones were better.
