MATERIALS
Photography
I'm a user of CANON for the camera and lenses. This brand fit me in regards of the utilisation and quality.
End 2025, I acquired a new camera, Hasselblad X2D II 100C with 2 lens, the XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E and the XCD 2,8-4/35-100E.
Macro
For Macro photography, I use the Laowa lenses and the macro rail from Novoflex, the focusing rack with stepping motor.
Drops Art
For the Drops Art, I begin with a reservoir with a valve and a simple controller for the valve opening and the delay of the flash. But it was difficult to make fine adjustments. After looking in internet, I found a company which have some professional equipments, Cognisys Inc., And I bought the StopShot studio 3 valves water drop kit. This system give the availability to have a thigh control of the time for the opening and the time between the drops. It allowed also to control up to 3 valves. For the support of the system, I build a working table with aluminum profile.

To continue with the Drops Art, to see the complete sequence of a collision, I have a high speed camera, Faster TS5, which allow me to take sequence up to 5000fps. The usage of such camera is not simple due to the light. A strong light is necessary and I'm still fine tuning my light system to be able to catch a good sequence. I acquire a second one; the Chronos 2.1-HD

Drone
As amateur photographer, aerial view was a dream, but with the drones arrival, this dream become reality. I have 2 drones, DJI Mavic2 Zoom and DJI Mini 4 Pro, which allow me to take nice shot or movie of some beautiful locations.
