One thing I don’t see much with GR III users is the use of the handy macro mode (at least on IG). Shoutout to @dk.snaps for posting macro shots! To be honest I didn’t think I would use it that much but it really opens up a lot of possibilities. Just by having the GR III on me constantly when I go out I can capture small bugs that aren’t moving, random water droplets, and little details that we normally wouldn’t pay attention to during our normal daily lives.

These photos were edited in post in Lightroom. Thanks /u/pest174 on Reddit for the reminder to mention this. All edits were color/lighting based. I did not do anything to change depth of field.

Little Black Salamander!

All in all this is a great bonus to the GR III that I was not aware of when purchasing. It is a little tricky to get the focusing correct and the dept of field is pretty shallow but no I have no complaints. I hope to see more GR III macro photos pop up in the community in the future!

Don’t Sleep on Macro Mode!
