waaaay too much motion blur, especially while steering with a left knee.

not necessarily true.. A tilt-shift lens would remove that distortion..

Yes, but only if you keep the sensor square to the subject. Half the people here probably don't know what we're talking about. BTW, Canon's 17mm TS-E lens is stunning when used simply as a wide-angle lens, without using the tilt or shift functions. I was thinking of getting one, but will probably get a super-wide to wide zoom.

I wouldn't call it "massive", around 60%. It flew straight over me at maybe 100-feet, this is probably 100-by ground and 100-ft up.

The light was excellent and I was able to use ISO 400 so that lots of details survived the crop. This one would have withstood well over 100%. The pixel-pitch of the 7D's sensor and the 500mm lens are a match made in heaven. The 7D may not have the best high-ISO performance, but it's preservation of detail in cropping is one of the very best sensors available, bar none.

Thanks guys...I just got my 550D almost a week ago (couldnt take any shots due to sand/wind storms in the area and then the hanging dust). I also purchased a cheapo Tammy 70-300 f4-5.6(sloooow) Macro 1:2....this is just the first picture I was able to post once weather cleared. I hope the weather is good for this "Super-Moon" event on the 19th...I really would like to get a great shot of it...
