When using the Ricoh GRIII with high contrast black-and-white and the small JPEG files, I am looking for the supreme aesthetic. When I go closer and closer to the subject that I am photographing, I like to embrace the macro and utilize the exposure compensation to create a darker image. I believe that we can achieve a sublime aesthetic using this technique of lowering the exposure compensation, using automatic mode, and embracing the macro feature on the Ricoh GRIII.
