Laura,
Hip flexors by any chance?
In my immediate family they seem to be the root cause of all knee and back ailments.

Understood. I hate doing that too, but now I weigh potential medical costs against money spent on contractor... and safety always. I'm in PT now for knee, back, and balance issues. I didn't realize how bad my balance was until they had me try a few things and I couldn't do them.

Hey Glen. It's the Photoraw 2024 version. It is taking some time learning, but so far, I like all that it can do. I was using and loved Luminar Neo.

When I do a global adjustment, the moment I start to move any slider, the image blurs a little and it makes it hard to see your adjustment. Once you let go, it becomes sharp again.

Hang in there with On1. It took me a little while to warm up to it, but I really like it now. It can do pretty much anything well.

I know the feeling, Colin. The last time I picked up a camera was the week before Christmas. Prior to that, it had been a month or two since I took a photo. I just haven't been motivated lately, but I have a trip coming up in February and I'm already planning out a couple of photos for it. Like you, I'm hoping the change in scenery will get me going.

We all get in a slump from time to time. Hope your vacation helps. BTW, I thought you Brits called it "on holiday"?

I knew someone on here used it. So far I'm liking it quite well. Does a lot of things Luminar doesn't.

We do call it holiday but working for an American company for 34+ years I have gravitated towards using vacation.

Hopefully you'll get out of your slump on your hols Colin.

Where are you off to? Slopside eh? Skiing then huh?

And what Z lenses did you buy out of interest?

The kit needs to be compact and lightweight therefore only my Z6ii, 28/2.8 Z, 100/2.8 E-series, and go-to 50/2 HC are coming slopeside.

I had been having quite a battle with multiple health issues since July, and since mid October I have been getting steadily better. The funny thing is that none of the docs know why I went bad for three months, nor why I now am getting better. I don't have any solid theory either. I'm glad I kept pushing the doctors and specialist, because it ruled out a bunch of problematic potential causes of my many symptoms. I now have a renewed interest in shooting photos, and getting things done - for that I am thankful.

Another reversed image, but this time using the 28mm f2.8 ais. I have a set of JIS screw drivers and I always look at lens screw heads before purchasing off eBay. Not only do Philips screw drivers round out JIS screws, but they deform the metal - like this bulge. It tells me a great deal about the history of the lens, and how well the person that worked on it was prepared

Hi Leighton,
I downloaded the trial of Luminar Neo and tried a few of its sliders and it seemed to be working fine. There was none of the blurring you mentioned. Maybe the copy on your computer became corrupted or fragmented to the point of losing its proper functionality. I am not any sort of a computer or software expert, so my only suggestion would be something you probably already thought of, which would be to uninstall the program, reboot the computer, then reinstall the program.

By the way, isn't Luminar Neo sold on the subscription model like Adobe? That is the only option I see on the website, and a 2-year minimum purchase is fully half the price of Lightroom plus Photoshop. It's even more expensive than the Adobe bundle if you go month by month.

While I'm posting, here are a few images from the Fuji X-T4 with Lens Turbo II and, respectively, the 105 f/2.5 P, the 2.8 f/3.5 H, and the 55 f/2.8 Ai-s, at Forbidden Plateau in early September. Like others here, I, too, have not done any shooting recently; but rather than a slump, I see it as a seasonal change of pastime. I'm doing more guitar playing and other indoor activities, because I do not like being out in the cold weather. When I run out of autumn photos to post, I might get around to some indoor photography, but maybe not, because, for me, photography is highly associated with outdoor activities.

I hit the NC beach this morning for 5 min too. The Pelicans were quiet but it is fun and relaxing to watch them go by. They never seem to run out. Watching them dive to eat is pretty cool too. Few B&W from this morning, Z6II w/ 105/1.8. 105 made me want an 85…

PS, someone please buy that Df before I do something I shouldn’t.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Jim, I'm enjoying your reverse macro shots, particularly the match head one.

We have Australasian Pelicans but I've never seen them dive into the ocean like I've seen the ones in SF etc.

Love a wooden jetty too.

We decided on St. Anton in Austria this year. Been a long time since we were last there.
Hoping the weather holds fair and the connecting runs will be open to allow us to circumnavigate the St.Anton-Zurs-Lech-Zurs-St.Anton loop.

I ordered the 24-120 f/4 S. The deal was too good to pass up.

Colin, no, knee is arthur-itis... , back was slipped disc and a herniated disc, and now the muscles are having some fun this month. Balance is something that deteriorates as you get older, and then the falls begin, so yeah, I'm definitely working at that. Don't tell my hips that... they may join in the fun.

I got some things to help me work on the balance at home too.

Saturday after Thanksgiving, for me. However, I have a trip planned for next month, so there may be some photos.

Sorry about the health issues Jim, but glad things are getting better. and love the macro shots lately, those matches are fantastic.
