One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photgraphy is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

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 .

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!

The Royal Guard and street liners on-board HMS Bulwark practice their drill before the ship heads to the Orkney Islands to commemorate 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Jutland.
Image shows saliors rehearsing in the Royal Guard...The Battle of Jutland took place between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet on the 31st May 1916 in the North Sea, off the mainland of Denmark.
Although it was the only major naval battle of World War I, it became the largest sea battle in naval warfare history in terms of the numbers of battleships and battlecruisers engaged, bringing together the two most powerful naval forces in existence at that time.

A first winter (2nd calendar year) bird photographed in Malaga province Spain. Large numbers had gathered along the coast.
Taken in 1965
Swindon loco works in 1965, with North-British 'Warship' D847 ''Strongbow'' and Brush prototype D0280 ''Falcon''..
D847 entered service in April 1961, and was withdrawn in March 1971, and scrapped one year later. None of this class survived, but two of the very similar BR-built examples have been preserved.
D0280 entered service in October 1961, and was renumbered to D1200 in 1970, and appeared in BR blue livery, but was finally withdrawn in October 1975, and scrapped in April 1976.
Swindon loco works finally closed down in 1986, although some restoration work on the chassis of GWR 2-8-2T 7200 was carried out there in 2000 - 2006. Today (2023) one of the buildings is used to house the Swindon 'Steam' museum..

Black Kite (Milvus migrans)
Sometimes the Black Kite is unkindly dubbed the "Kimberley Seagull" because of its habit of gathering in large numbers to scavenge around an abundant food source. Black Kites are among the very few raptor species which will gather in flocks. The Black Kite preys upon insects and small animals and birds. Extremely agile and experts at soaring, Black Kites can spend nearly all day on the wing, hawking insects out of the air and eating them as they fly.
Black Kites can often be seen at camping grounds and caravan parks, working cooperatively to tip over rubbish bins and raid them for anything edible. They are bold but wary birds, and many a traveller can offer stories of their encounters with these beautiful raptors. They are widespread throughout the northern part of the continent, and vagrant birds have been sighted in south west Western Australia but it is not believed that they breed there.
Black Kites are also called Fork-Tailed Kites, Allied Kites, Shite-Hawks and Firebirds.
Whilst common to northern Australia and many other parts of the world, Black Kites are diminishing in south east Asia and Taiwan, where conservation efforts are being made to try and bring the birds the Chinese know as "the Old Eagle" back. They are found across most of Europe, including Russia. The northern hemisphere birds are migratory and are particularly common in Spain, Turkey and Gibraltar.
Black Kites are the birds used in the twice daily Free-Flight Displays at the Eagles Heritage Raptor Wildlife Centre in Margaret River, Western Australia. Pele, the female kite pictured (on the left hand side of the photo), features in Eagles Heritage educational sessions several times a week. Her brother Cetan (at right) may be seen at Society displays and school visits around the South West.
An artists hand at work? Colouring by numbers has brought a new pastime to many stuck at home. This is my dad’s hand working on a particularly large painting.

After the conjugal visit was over with the female Eclectus parrot, the male was obviously still feeling in a very loving mood. First he flew onto the back of my neck and proceeded to croon with certain romantic vocals and by diving into my rather short hair and caressing his flattened body across my head. This possibly being not entirely satisfactory, he then flew to my wife, who with her much longer post COVID hair was a more satisfactory partner and he really enjoyed getting up close and personal with her head and hair as you can see here. In fact, after a while, keepers at the park had to enquire as to our welfare and if we needed assistance to get him off and move on. Apparently this was all found to be quite usual for this boy and quite a laugh for all.
They also told us that all the birds suffered from lack of attention from customers during the early lockdown and would flock to the attendants who were the only humans they saw and would perch in large numbers all over them. Isn't nature wonderful.
If you are up that way and you love birds, take a while to drop in and say hello to the occupants of this park, they will literally love you for it and the owners need all the income they can get to improve their environment and give them a happy life.
I would really prefer to not have them locked up but most really do love human interaction and if they are going to have such a park, we may as well visit and help give them a great home.
Behind the brash facade you can see the old town of Rovinj gently crumbling in the sun!

Phew. If I hadn't felt lousy the past couple of days, I would have hopefully gotten out there and taken a photo without feeling rushed. I've driven by the sign and decided those were the numbers I wanted to use for the Competition Corner. Wanted it to involve Bogart, too. Not feeling the best, but I took my handsome three-legged dogger for a quick jaunt down to the sign. Gotta love having a willing model, though. Here he shows himself to be willing to do anything for frozen dehydrated carrot slices. Desperate? Or merely food-motivated?

A Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) male with his graceful wings was entering into a resting place to join his partner. The lesser whistling ducks though in great numbers, looks like minnows to the personality of the great male duck. The full wing span from behind exhibiting the majesty of colours with the perfect symmetry earned it a very special charm. Pics was taken from Santragachi, West Bengal, India.
