Again in this derelict yard, and with a guard dog that wouldn't shut up, I found a bit of hard colour to create this composition.

Good evening friends!
I sometimes get asked the questions: "What preset do you use?", "What action did you use?", "What lens did you use?" or "What camera do you use?"
And just recently, I was asked one of these questions: "What lens did you use?" for my most recent upload titled "Alone".
These are all perfectly good questions, so this post isn't at all about mocking anyone. However, I reckon that the grand question one should be asking is another. Why? Because the answer to how the majority of my photos are created isn't tied to one specific camera, lens or preset. In fact I've never really liked using presets or photoshop actions to get things done. And the focal length, including brand of lens plays very little role in the final image.
The biggest concern should be how to compose the shot properly using the elements that can be found at the scene. In my opinion; leading lines and the placement of the subject in relation to the rest of the scene is the most important aspects of a photo. This is called composition. Also, you'll of course need great light and a fitting expression or posture of the subject.
So in order to explain composition better, or at least how I composed my most recent photo, one would first have to know what a golden spiral is.
Well, Fibonacci first discovered that this so called "golden spiral" appears in several places throughout nature, from DNA molecules to flower petals, from hurricanes to the Milky Way. More importantly, the Fibonacci spiral is pleasing to the human eye.

Long story short, our brain has to process everything our eyes see. The quicker it can process something, the more pleasant it is. Any image with the golden ratio is processed faster by the brain, so it sends a signal that such an image is aesthetically pleasant.
This, as a photographer, is something you'll learn to see without having to draw out the spiral on top of your image as an overlay and obviously not on your camera's viewfinder or LCD, although that sounds useful. Proper composition just needs practice, as with everything else.
Now, what better way is there for an individual that on a regular basis tells stories through pictures than to explain this with a picture of a picture (pun intended) that recently received great feedback on social media :)
As always, please feel free to share!
