Among the many images I have shot over the years of reeds that are lakeside, this image was different for the way the vertical reeds contrast with nearly perfect horizontal lines from the ripples in the lake. Gilbert Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch.
Composition No. 1, by Marc Saporta (2011, Visual Editions). Acquired 1 October, 2011; purchased at Shakespeare and Company, Paris.
(This is a very beautiful reprint of Saporta's 1962 novel-in-a-box, consisting of 150 loose, unnumbered pages that can be read in any order.)
One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted. The simple golden ratio PHI can exalt your art with the golden ratio harmonies in the form of golden rectangles, golden triangles, golden spirals, golden cuts, and more, all linked by the divine proportion!

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

In front of us - a composition of lines and stones. In the foreground: The old city walls. In the background: The cemetery of the Mount of Olives. The exceptions are three vertical cypress trees at the bottom of the image, bringing some living into the still landscape shrouded in death.

לפנינו קומפוזיציה של קווים ושל אבנים. בחזית: חומת העיר העתיקה. ברקע: בית הקברות של הר הזיתים. יוצאי הדופן הם שלושת הברושים המאונכים שבתחתית התמונה, שמכניסים קצת חיות לנוף הדומם האפוף במוות
A dark, atmospheric interior of an abandoned industrial room filled with drifting steam and damp decay. Rusted pipes snake along cracked, stained walls, bending overhead like veins, while a single grimy window lets in weak, pale light. Moisture pools on the tiled floor, reflecting shadows and broken debris. A corroded metal barrel stands forgotten in the corner, surrounded by peeling paint and exposed wiring. The air feels heavy, alive, as mist coils slowly through the space. Muted green and blue tones dominate, with subtle amber highlights in rusted metal. Cinematic lighting, gritty realism, claustrophobic composition, post-industrial horror mood, environmental storytelling, painterly texture, haunting stillness, high-resolution detail, unsettling calm suspended in silence.
