Sounds like this is a focusing issue at root. AF-C as mentioned above is definitely a good idea, but best used in combination with back button focusing. Don't have a D3000, but lots of info on bb focus here: http://improvephotography.com/4552/back-button-focusing/

Lee, did you share any of your shots in the critique section?

Definitely lots of motion, but might have been nice to get a front on angle to capture the expressions too.

Also think number 3 is the best - both for isolation and the emotion/dynamism.

Good moment to capture.

Not really sure what's meant to be going on in 4, but also think 5 is the best.

400 in the Peli, but laptop separately with waterproofs/gubbings etc in a backpack.

Very sad news. A wonderful contribution to photography and always posting something interesting on twitter, too.

Agree. Also prefer when I can see the rider coming towards me; rather than their back as in the first two.

Don't appear to be able to see the photos. Am I alone with this?

4 is my favourite - almost a tear drop/droplet shape mimicking water falling.

Really impressive set.

Not sure about the blue land rover in the background! Looks like a tricky location to get an angle on though. Perhaps a lower view point to focus on the height of the jumping motion?

Number 1 is my favourite. I wonder if it would have been possible to get a different background? Perhaps the same panning technique but against the backdrop of a colourful moor?
