You just have to either be able to, or you can't. Theres no trick. You just 
have to figure out how to focus it properly. If that means turning it 
vertical and focusing in a horizontal line (like the subject's eye or lip 
or something) or whatever. You have to come up with a strategy to make sure 
your focus is right on. Shooting at 1.4 is not likely to yield good results 
if you're shooting fast-moving subjects. So time to focus at 1.4 is usually 
there. It just takes time to think things through.
