Waterproof 580 Speedlite

[Trev B]

Last evening I went down to my main pond to photograph the newly arrived Frogs (posted in animal section). Got everything ready, got a few shots, it was getting dark so decided on a few more using flash. Was worried about reflection so balanced the 580 on the fence and transmitter on camera - Guess what, the flash unit fell in the pond Reluctant to jump in I went back up the house got a net and did a bit of pond dipping! Found it, gave it a good shaking, took the batteries out and hung it in front of the wood burner over night. Guess what again, it working fine. It was in the water all of ten minutes, hence I'm quite pleased with myself this morning

I am impressed, not cheap to replace.

Unlucky and lucky all in one go there Trev. I'm glad you managed to retrieve it from the pond and that it's still works.

That will teach you to go flashing in the woods!

Don't tell everyone John. The most worrying thing about it was, that I may have to tell the wife that we got to cancel the new Three Piece Suite which is on order -- I now have to buy a new Flash Unit
