Way, way back in the mid 1970s when I was a student in the School of Journalism at Ohio University, we used these things to tell the composing room and the press room what size the hard copy photos we were sending them should be when they were put on the page. Knowing what I know about journalists today, I wonder what would have happened if the instructor had told them that instead of using a proportion wheel, we were about to use a circular slide rule that uses a logarithmic scale to do our math for us. I would guess that half of them would run from the room screaming in terror.
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!

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!

Tyco Fire Suppression
Project Overview
Our team is trying to develop a unique foam
concentrate proportioner to be used in an industrial
setting for Tyco. The current proportioning system
distributes the foam concentrate into water at
correct proportions, but this is accomplished by
various designs, each with limited abilities. Tyco
is looking for a design that can encompass all
advantages and minimize the disadvantages. This
will be accomplished by challenging fresh minds to
develop a new, innovative design.
I'm standing in front of the humongous leaves of Gunnera, an herbaceous plant that maintains a symbiotic relationship with cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria live in water and in the soil and do photosynthesis as well as taking atmospheric nitrogen (which is inert) and transforming it into biologically useable nitrogen. Some of that nitrogen is helping these Gunnera leaves grow to the outlandish proportion shown here.

The egg and the head show a proportion, because the egg looks as though it's the same size as Dev's head. The image also has emphasis on the egg. The background of the image has movement because of the blurred background. The egg has an asymmetrical balance, because it is not perfectly round and is off to the side.
York Minster is without doubt one of the largest and most impressive Gothic architectural buildings in all of England. The full majestic proportion of the building can be seen after entering a few narrow streets called the shambles that bring you to the south of the Church. Altho it's the Cathedral of York and it's dedication is St Peter, the building was given the title Minster for it's importance in the church field considering it's the home place for the Archbishop of York.
The Minster has had a long very active history with there being a building on site back to the Anglo- Saxon age. The Norman's built a Cathedral on site in the 11th-Century but shortly after the present Gothic Structure was built in place starting from the 13th-Century. The new nave was built on the old Norman Cathedral foundations and shortly after the Transepts, Choir and Chapter House were constructed. The original Central tower collapsed in 1407 and the present tower was built along with the western towers near the end of the Century.
The Cathedral has many notable features which includes the Chapter house, octagonal shaped with carvings of heads around the bases of the large windows, the space in the Nave and Choir making them the largest of their kind in England, a decorated Central tower and a large collection of bells which are set in the Western towers, one of them holding the Cathedral's hour bell 'Great Peter' along with 6 clock bells, while the other tower holds the 14 peal as well as a collection of 22 Carillion bells which are unique in an English Cathedral.
The Cathedral's main interior feature is it's medieval stained glass which is seen throughout the building. At the West end is a large window which near the top is heart shaped which has since been given title 'The Heart of Yorkshire'. The transepts too have their stained glass masterpieces with the North having the five sisters window while the South has a rose window.
The most famous Stained glass window in the Minster is the Great East Window by John Thornton, the largest piece of medieval glass in the world at 76 ft and if layed down would cover one of Wimbledon's tennis courts. For the past couple years the window has been replaced by a large full size print copy of the window since the glass was taken out as part of a large restoration project that is due to be completed in 2016.
During the Minster's turbulent history, it's been noted for having a number of disasters caused by fire. The first recorded instance was during the Anglo-Saxon period when the old wooden structure was destroyed. In 1137 the old Norman structure was damaged and replaced by another Norman building afterwards.
Most recently was a fire in 1829 started by resident Jonathan Martin which destroyed the East end roof along with the organ, after this Martin was tried at the Courts and sent to the Lunatic Asylum as it was found he was mentally unstable at the time of starting the arson. Shortly afterwards in 1840 the Nave and South West tower were gutted by a fire this time by accident.
On July 9 1984 thinking it was a lightning strike, fire destroyed the South Transept roof leaving it a gutted shell and open to the elements. Up to £2 million was spent to renovate the damage which was completed in 1988.
St Mary, Lindsell, Essex
A fair proportion of my favourite Essex churches are in the area north of the A120 between Dunmow and Haverhill. Some of them are well known - Thaxted of course, and there are the likes of Great and Little Sampford, Finchingfield, Little Bardfield and Wethersfield. I suppose that Lindsell and Stebbing are not so well known, but if I could take twenty Essex churches to a desert Island, then these two would be among them.
Lindsell is a scattered parish without a real village centre. St Mary's church is hidden from the road, set back behind the stable block of the Hall. You would not know it was there if you did not think to look for it. A small church, and most curiously appointed, with a slim tower in the south-west corner. and the square Norman nave augmented by a tiny south aisle and a wide yet shallow chancel to the east. The Norman chancel arch and its counterpoint to the south are delights, and the chancel also contains an access window to a former anchorite cell on the north side. The east window contains medieval and continental glass. But this is the bare sum of it, and St Mary is greater than the sum of its parts, an enticing, enfolding atmosphere that has me cycling this way again and again.
Not far off on the other side of the Dunmow to Haverhill road is the much larger village of Stebbing, a delightful mile or so of high street that leads you to a sharp bend just before leaving the village, and here is St Mary. Stebbing is one of my favourite villages in Essex, and such a setting for such a church!
A huge, endearing, ramshackle giant of a church, like an eccentric maiden aunt. It always seems to be open, and is always cluttered up with what ever various village and youth groups were in the middle of doing, and I love it for that. It always feels lived in and loved. A new acquisition since my last visit is a pair of large leather sofas, either side of the wide chancel.

Edited ISS038 image of Oahu. I think this image was taken north of the island and I had to rotate it 180 degrees to get north to be up. This is why the proportions seem to be wrong.
Africa has the world’s largest proportion of poor and hungry people, but the lowest rate of coverage by social protection programs. Demand for social protection is growing in Africa, reflecting faster economic growth, rapid urbanization, and more open and pluralistic societies. In the 2014 Malabo Declaration, African leaders called for integrating social protection with measures to increase agricultural productivity to help achieve the goal of ending hunger by 2025.
The 2017–2018 Annual Trends and Outlook Report: Boosting Growth to End Hunger by 2025—The Role of Social Protection takes an in-depth look at the state of social protection in Africa. Seminar speakers will discuss findings and recommendations on successful implementation, filling knowledge gaps, and policy implications for the design and roll-out of social protection programs in Africa.
The report is produced by the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System, a program that provides data and analyses to inform the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). ReSaKSS is supported by United States Agency for International Development and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

1) This photo is of proportion as the foreground queen chess piece looks much larger in comparison to the small pawns the background.
2) The best part of the photo is also the difference in chess pieces, the queen is clear and the pawns are cloudy, that brings a nice contrast to the photo.
Anything can display proportion, any object on the planet is a proportion, this topic makes you explore so much because you can basically pick anything and it would be good, but usually in simplicity is the most complicated thing to achieve. Choosing to take a shot of the inside of an empty bottle was because the structure is fascinating and also due to the fact that many people choose to throw the bottle away when it is empty and not analyse what it could represent.
