I will try some street this summer, even if i haven't pressed the shutter in months.
It will be local for me also, Id love a holiday but circumstances prevail.
Best of luck to all
Re Flan

Some birds love flapping up and then try and hold still for the briefest of moments.
I reckon that this bird was just loving the weather.

Showcases in Tokyo and shanghai on May 30th, micro sd card, 5 axis stabilisation 26 mp sensor, so sounds like the k3 iii sensor possibly.
No announcement for an X version (40mm) yet.
Just saying

I was hoping for April hailstones or sleet an snow among the blossoms but the weather has a strangeness these days.
Geo engineered for other interests groups agendas.
Will make the effort non the less Simonmac

I will try Simonac but my sport photos are old and and on film

Love the first one Loadof, when youngsters were free.

Great results Loadof, well done, great clarity and contrast. You don't need the labs after all

Lennybloke, I would echo the same, even if I couldn't afford it.

Rawtherappe can handle pixel shift files in DNG form, Its open source so it is free to download.
A steep learning curve but excellent for raw file processing.
I haven't personally shot a pixel shift photo yet

For negatives and the money, I would go along with the purchase of that cheap light box.
Set you're tripod up pointing downwards onto a stable surface with the negative perfectly flat on the light-box, I use a little weights around the edges to prevent distortion from curl when needed (kitchen table suits me height wise) view and level perfectly on both planes of view and use live view an also press the ok button to really get in close to achieve that extra detail.
f8 aperture on the DFA macro 100mm and iso 100 obviously.
I get in as close, or as focus will allow and then come back a tiny tad adjusting the tripod height but maintaining full 35mm coverage of the neg or slide, as best I can.
When one has set up good one can do a batch of old negs.
Put one of them into Rawtherappe and when one chooses to develop a negative, reverse the curve field, so the that it shows as a positive.
This is my ameture approach currently but allows me to learn the easy way.
