What type of battery was it?
Just found this after some searching on the web.
If they are alkaline batteries, it is potassium hydroxide (a base NOT an acid). So the best thing to clean it with is an acid (like vinegar or stop bath). But do not get water or water/acid into the device or you may have even more trouble.
The safest way is to use mechanical removal. I have used wooden sticks and glass fiber pens (get them from some camera stores or Radio Shack). Final cleanup with fine sandpaper or a pencil eraser depending on the condition.

Whelmed you should process the sky on it's own because this isn't working.
I find it to purple now, it's almost like a evil castle or something
You should get the blue from the first photo and make it lighter, by my eyes that might work.

I'm glad it's to your likings.
I was quite surprised how much detail I could get out of the photo.
You can brighten up the clouds in PP if you want

The composition is good and the fisheye is very appropriate here (I might have tried for a level horizon but this was probably not possible). But does noone else find the darkness of the clouds top right over the top? To my eye they look very unnatural - they ought to be emanating from a chimney not acting as a backdrop to this picturesque scene! Though perhaps it's just me, as noone else has mentioned this.
When you have the horizon on the middle of the frame then it should be straight but i like the little curve here, it just look like the curve of the earth.The composition is good and the fisheye is very appropriate here (I might have tried for a level horizon but this was probably not possible).

Bob those last shots look a lot better and indeed an umbrella would soften the highlights.
Get a convertible shoot through umbrella, those are quite handy.
Keep up the good work ^^

Alun, that's a great photo, you've the smile on the man's face with the blurred background looks like he is moving quite fast and enjoying it. It's a keeper
