During travel and daily activity I just bring Canon SX60HS as my companion. The camera has all in one capability that suit my need. When I went to serious photo hunting I will carry Canon EOS 700D, EOS RP, EOS SX60HS. Lens that usually I carry during serious photo hunting is Canon EFS 18-55 IS II, Canon EFS 10-18 IS II, Canon EFS 55-250 IS II, Canon EF 28-105 IS USM. Hoya CPL Filter, Kenko ND4 Filter, Kenko ND8 Filter.Feedback
Capturing insect, bug, or other wild animal need a patient. We need to observe their habitat, and busy hours. Normally in morning around 8 am to 10 am in Jakarta time, or 2pm - 5pm in Jakarta time. Set camera speed between 1/200 to 1/1000 depend of the subject. I usually set at least f/7.1 to f/11 for aperture during macro photography shoot. ISO I set auto, lets the camera set them self.
