It's always great to try and meet up with fellow photographers and this image was created with one such fellow light painter. We had decided to visit Dartmoor for some night photography, and Clapper Bridge was one of the locations we had in mind. We arrived at the bridge and set up our gear, then spent the next few hours light painting the bridge and the surrounding area. We took about 3 practice exposures, figuring out how much light to paint and where, before we got the final image. At some point during this time we heard a splash. Fearing a repeat of my previous visit we franticly searched and checked our equipment to make sure we had everything and nothing had fallen in. Dismissing it as a stone falling from the riverbank or some animal, we carried on as usual. It was about 10 minutes later when my friend cursed slightly and dove his hand into the river, only to retrieve my remote flash trigger unit, pooring with water. I immediately turned it off (the LED power indicators were still on!) and took the batteries out, before pouring out what seemed like half the river from inside the trigger and drying the unit as best as possible. We decided to move on, but not call it a night, so we worked our way back down the footpath towards the car, taking more photos as we went, but manually triggering flashes when we used them! I returned home and immediately dissasembled the flash trigger, dried it's innards as best as I could with some kitchen roll, and placed the pieces in a small metal tin which I then balanced on the radiator, ready for when it would heat up in the morning. I left it to dry for 12 hours before checking for any obvious signs of remaining moisture or water damage, but couldn't see anything. I re-assembled the trigger, inserted some freshly charged batteries and it turned on just fine and still worked as it should. In fact it's still working just fine to this day, over 9 months after it's bath. I will be reviewing the trigger and remote flashes at some point in the near future, so please come back soon for that.
