1. Fast shutter speeds
2. Wide open lenses
3. Auto focus. I know, I know...But you asked how to get fast moving little
kids, and as someone who spends a whole lot of time doing same, I can tell
you there's nothing like it.

Is that it?  You're just going to make a statement like that and leave
me dangling like a participle (whatever that is).

How about some hints and tips.

First of all though, I know how annoying it can be when somebody pins
you down with a specific question when you'd much rather be off chasing
new and more interesting threads. So please answer only at your
convenience.

Have you ever noticed how quick a toddler can turn their head for
instance?  I swear that from one position to another is just a blur,
there is no in-between.  Fast shutter speeds and wide open lenses are
not my normal style and I am really making a botch of capturing some
unrepeatable situations.

Any help would be appreciated.

Alan
