<p>Thursday=Canon posting day, so let's see your efforts for this week. Mine is from a street fair in Little Italy.</p>

<p>This helicopter was lifting equipment onto a roof a few blocks from me. I used my 70-200 F/4 and 1.4x extender to get some shots with my 80D. I opened my window and removed the screen.</p><div></div>

<p>Met a friend of mine at the Illinois Railway Museum for an afternoon of shooting, using the 24-105 F/4 and 80D.</p><div></div>

<p>I decided to put my Pentax down this week and use my old trusty Canon 30D for some shots. It's definitely a little dated but still works like brand new. This is what I captured:<br>
