Trying to get my camera to focus fast enough is my problem.

I have that combo also. I've had better luck with 70-200 F4 IS though.

Nice shot. Try using a flash on manual at 1/8 or 1/16 power.

when you take some photo in light condition , for example in daylight don't worry about the shutter just adjust diafragma for a bit , or using flash if needed ....
