I recently bought a D500 in order to get better shots of whippet racing. These little dogs travel at upwards of 30mph down a straight track. Between 2 and four dogs per race. Track is about 25ft wide and I can stand/lie at the side of it. Currently I'm using AF-C, Dynamic-area AF and shooting at Continuous High, F6.3, 70mm-ish focal length and around 1/4000 on a good day. When I look through the viewfinder I usually try to keep the little square on the same dog as they all run towards me. And try and wait until they fill the viewfinder before starting to shoot.
In all the shots below, I feel they could have been a bit sharper. Has anyone got any pointers/tips for me in order to improve? I haven't tried 3D tracking yet to see if that is any better. (I haven't done any other sports photography so this is a new area to me. I purely shoot for the joy of it.).
