MATERIALS
Photography
I'm a user of CANON for the camera and lenses. This brand fit me in regards of the utilisation and quality.
For the flashes I use for the Drops Art, I use Godox
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
With the Chronos the quality is totally different and more easier to setup in regards of the light.
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 2, which allow me to take nice shot or movie of some beautiful locations.
