Try using a flash. Best to use a camera with TTL flash metering and 1/250
sec flash sync. speed--that'll freeze any motion and give the correct
exposure. For best results the flash should be held to the side of the
camera on a bracket. Many web sites have all the technical info. you'll
need. Try this one for starters:  http://www.sphoto.com/phototech.html
