Also a very useful lesson learnt. Use a shorter focal length and get a better DoF. This was with the Sigma 70-300 at 300mm |

Cool picture - though could you please send us some of that rain? It looks like you folks are hogging it all!
While going to a wider angle lens so that you have a bigger DOF is a good idea, I'm not sure it would be as effective with this particular shot. I'd be tempted to raise the ISO so that you canhave a smaller aperture using the same shutter speed (and a greater DOF while not changing the field of view). But your point that the DOF depends on the focal length of the lens is a very good lesson to learn |

Having made that post I did reconsider my idea about a shorter focal length. By using the longer lens I think it gave me a better photo as I was closer to the action. As for ISO, I was using 800 and the shot itself was at 1/400s f6.3 so not a lot of leeway really. However, thank goodness for 3 fps. I just pointed the camera through the open window at the ground, aimed, focussed, and clickclickclickclickclicketc. Then it was just a case of finding a shot that:
