With aperture range of 2.8, it should be fast enough. What ISO setting were you using?

Bracketing is rather hard for a motion picture. I assume that you did not use the flash, flash would stop the action for you.

I would try to use aperture priority if your camera have the option, shoot with F2.8. Well, at 2.8 your DoF will be very shallow. Jack up your ISO setting, jack it all up until the NOISE starts to get really bad.

You might want to try the panning shots. Sport photography is really hard, it all about the anticipation.


Oh-try spot metering if you can
