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.

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!

after trying to understand the news, sewing on the news, washing the news with water, soaking it in ink... is it something new?

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.

Or hardly studying?

I really really hope I do not have moderate sleep apnea, but that is what my doctor suspects. Will know more by morning. Wish me luck. 257/365
One of the downsides of working in LDD is that it's very fussy about collisions and legal connections. In the LDD model on the right the fourth of the 2x1x2 bows won't go into place because it collides with the one above. Hence the study model on the left which reproduces the exact setup and proves that in fact the piece will fit nicely underneath. My desk is cluttered with loads of these little study models just to check stuff is going to work for real.
My redhead friend's dad doesn't believe that she ever studies. She showed him this picture so that he has proof.
Just another old sunset photo from the archives. Still feeling a little better everyday, but I still have lots of studying to catch up on. Same old story........
Please don't post your photos here nor GLITTERY IMAGES. They will be removed. Don't invite me to any group. I will not accept ;-)
This is a study model for the MOC I’m working on the USS Jefferies. What you’re looking at here is the core of the model with one of the big booms sticking out the side that form the wings. The box of assorted LEGO at the end is a weight to represent the warp drives sitting at the end. The big rock on top is just so it doesn’t fall over.
All this is to check whether those wings will droop; and they do – but not nearly as much as I thought. I will do a bit of a redesign and try this again. Worst case I might have to just have two nacelles (basically halving the weight on the end) which will reduce the droop massively.
A big shout out to Jeddy and Daddy who recently gave (GAVE!) me a massive bag of various technic parts and miscellaneous plates; many of which are in this model.
Art museums remain a place where one can view works differently in person than online. The detail and minutia in paintings are lost in online or printed reproductions. And so it's no wonder people visit to see them and be inspired. I don't know the name of the painting or artist this dude is studying from, but he appears to be off to a good start.
