Computer working again....I broke LightRoom

 The photographers among my small audience recognize the name "LightRoom" (LR) as a program for "developing" digital images, it also catalogs them and allows a great deal of printing and publication actions.  It is the digital replacement for a darkroom, although not as well equipped a "darkroom" as Photoshop provides, adequate for 95% of what I normally need to do.  Well I broke my LR catalog.  That meant I could not access the photos I had worked on for the "Fantasy Fest Thursday" post.  It is now being rebuilt - 93,000+ images just on my C drive.so it's taking a while.

Juno Beach, FL - 1.3 second exposure

Juno Beach, FL - 30 second exposure (5 minutes after previous image)
 
I went out and shot the surf at sunset today, while my computer crunched.   I used a Variable Neutral Density filter to get long exposure times to blur the 10 to 15 foot breaking waves.  Of course LR is still crunching so I can't download my pictures.  To revert to pirate mode...."ARRRRRGH".  I will wait to post this until I can post 1 or more of those images also.

LR finished, at least with the C drive so I'm posting the blurred surf images, will post more Fantasy Fest later.
