I should probably give some context to this image and the Golden Spiral hairline that is superimposed on it.
Composition is a constant refrain in my photographic work. I've taken classes in it, read alot about it and indeed teach composition for photographers as well.
I've been mentally visualizing formal compositional geometries on the viewfinder for several years and it has become a habit whenever I pick up a camera. Nevertheless, it's often a surprise when I look at an image in the processing phase to see just how strongly those forms are embedded.
This shot is a good example of that mental process. When I took this shot I was concerned with getting the area of highest contrast in the picture, the bowsprit, somewhere near one of the golden section line intersections. I was also concerned that the angle of the steel work on the bowsprit point up towards the upper right corner of the frame. I took about 3 shots of this scene, varying the exposure a bit each time but altering the view point only a tiny bit in each. In the end, I wound up selecting this particular image as the best of the batch.
As the hairline on the image shows, the bowsprit fitting is located nearly perfectly on the origin of the golden spiral. Similarly, the curve of the hull of the boat follows the outward track of the spiral as well. As t turns out the diagonals of the bowsprit fitting point directly to the corner fairly precisely. The combination of the golden spiral and diagonal elements working with the forms of the boat in the image give the image, at least to me, a sense of proportion and of completeness.
For those that are interested in the processing, the above image is a screen shot from Lightroom 3, with a slight neutral gradient applied to the sky, as well as corrections for lens distortion, a little noise reduction and a little sharpening. In my normal workflow, this image, with this amount of processing, would then be exported into Photoshop 5 for additional color work (using Nik Viveza), converted to black (using Nik Silver Efx 2) and then toned, with a final pass of sharpening and watermarked. You can see the result of that workflow in the final image.

My photo meets the project goals by using symmetry to make the image look more appealing. I first went to my garage, set up a tripod, attached my phone, made an invention (attached led lights to a metal rod), then made the shutter speed 10 and proceeded to wave the rod until I got the shape I wanted. I think I did really well in managing to make the light create a nearly perfect circle. I would’ve liked for it to be a little less grainy in most areas.

Krater with a Processsion of Dionysus, C1st BCE
This monumental vase was famous in Poussin's day and was among the antiquities he most admired. Beneath trailing vines, a procession winds its way around the vase. Dionysus (the Greek, and rather wilder, version of Bacchus) presides over the revels, as dancers whirl in an endless parade of inebriation and ecstasy. Poussin directly quoted the dancer with the tambourine in the Triumph of Bacchus, while the stumbling satyr, helped by a friend, surely inspired the drunken faun in The Triumph of Pan.

Poussin and the Dance
(October 2021 – January 2022)
Tambourines shake, wine spills, and half-naked figures whirl across the canvas in these paintings of revelry, dance and drama that are brought together in this first exhibition dedicated to Poussin and dance.
Poussin’s paintings of dance are unique. He brings to life the classical world of gods and mortals with wild and riotous movement but, the chaos on the canvas does not reflect the meticulous and inventive process that allowed him to capture bodies in motion.
In this exhibition, Poussin’s paintings and drawings of dance will be shown alongside the antique sculpture he studied, inviting you to trace the evolution of his ideas from marble to paper to paint.
Poussin’s working methods will be fully revealed with a reconstruction of his wax figurines, which the artist manipulated into different compositions, underscoring his role not only as painter of dance, but as choreographer in his own right.
