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 .

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!

This friendly fellow really wanted some attention. It took me a while to get the angle I wanted but I finally settled on holding the camera out and underneath him. The lens was set at 10mm to achieve the odd proportions.
In this piece of work I have used ink, to draw several human figures, I then went on to try and use other techniques like blowing the ink around the image and trying to create a different look. But the proportion of the first piece is very large and the other two are much smaller which I feel shows a better proportion, but the legs and arms have been blended together, while I have been blowing the ink. This has created a human like figure, which I feel looks better then the first piece.
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion."

Ansel Adams used the golden ratio in his photography too:

The Fibonacci Numbers are closely related to the golden ratio, and thus they also play a prominent role in exalted natural and artistic compositions!
I'm working on a far deeper book titled The Golden Ratio Number for Photographers. :)
The famous mathematician Jacob Bernoulli wrote:
The (golden spiral) may be used as a symbol, either of fortitude and constancy in adversity, or of the human body, which after all its changes, even after death, will be restored to its exact and perfect self.
Engraved upon Jacob’s tombstone is a spiral alongside the words, "Eadem Mutata Resurgo," meaning "Though changed, I shall rise again." And so it is that within the Golden Ratio Principle, the golden harmonies rise yet again.
The golden ratio is oft known as the divine cut, the golden cut, the divine proportion, the golden number, and PHI for the name of the architect of the Parthenon Phidias. It has exalted classical art on down through the millennia and it can exalt your art too!
Ask me anything about the golden ratio! :) I will do my best to answer!!

1) This photograph demonstrates Proportion by the little hotwheelz car and the road. 2) I think the most visually striking part of this photo is the little toy car.
The difference in distance from the camera of the model and actual guitar creates a cool proportional effect. The most striking part of this image is it's simplicity.
A quite austere but rather nicely proportioned building on the main square of Motovun. I'm not sure if the building was currently occupied, many of the buildings seemed to have been empty for years.
One reason I chose this picture is because I wanted to use the rule of thirds to make the sun more of a focal point. I wanted to do this to capture the beauty of nature once again. The girl in the picture would usually be the focal point, but that's not what I was going for. This photo is very clean and open. I tried to get some of the sun's reflection in the picture and that can be seen in the right side of the picture on the girls silhouette. I also tried to get the silhouette in focus too. I made sure her hairs were in focus as well, so it would add more effect to the silhouette. It makes the sun's effect show through even more and adds depth to the photo.

This photo portrays proportion through the significant distance between Thomas and Jose. I think the most striking part of photo is the difference in height between the boys.

Still so many photo's undeveloped.
Used a filter in Nik, Soft Gold Reflector and it gives the picture a bit of a cartoon feeling (imo).
The wide angle lens gives him the extra goof look.
David standing upon some stiars, between some mausoleums and some 1,000+ year old Japanese cedar trees that dominated the forest's arborous assortment.
To get this shot I got one of my friends to use all her leg muscles and hold her foot in this position for as long as possible until I got this shot. It wasn't easy, the panda isn't as strong as he looks.
When putting the dogs size in perspective, this shows how proportionally, JD is much larger than Elliott.

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
1. I think this picture is proportion because of the traffic light in the middle of the open sky.
2. I find the clouds and sunset to be visually appealing.
With Francie I definitely wanted to see how she measured up to Momoko since they’d supposedly had very similar proportions and Francie was partly the reason for Momoko’s overall aesthetic. However you can see that Momoko’s face shape is much closer to, what I call, an anime aesthetic in how her face is proportioned and shaped (like the nose being much more curved, her face being much more heart shaped and where her eyes are placed vs Francie’s), while her body is much more gangly in terms of limbs. However you can see they can pass as cousins in terms of overall aesthetics.
