If you look hard enough you might see the golden spiral, there is also the Golden Ratio in music so thought this might combine the two headings!

also using this for macromondays as there is something comforting about patterns in nature, eh?
SOOC pretty much.........to be truly following the golden ratio, 1 to 1.618, i probably should have cropped this a little differently (artistic license)

The fact that you can see my whole living room in that bulb was a nice surprise. I was concentrating on the Christmas tree bokeh.

I have long been fascinated by the Golden Ratio, Phi, and the Fibonacci Sequence. So for today's shot, I wanted to illustrate the Golden Ratio in a few different ways. The face is said to have proportions according to the Golden Ratio. The pinecone, of course, is one of the natural occurances of the Golden Spiral. I also composed the shot to make use of the Golden Spiral and intersection of the Golden Triangles. Yep. I'm a geek.

The History of Sather Gate
For 98 years, Sather Gate has welcomed students to the University of California at Berkeley. In 1910, Jane K. Sather donated the money, in memory of her husband, Peder Sather, to build an imposing main entrance to the heart of the University. The site chosen was at the terminus of Telegraph Avenue where a bridge crossed Strawberry Creek.
Architect John Galen Howard was selected to design this gate. Howard planned a gate with four masonry piers supporting imaginatively decorated bronze work. At the apex of the bronze arch is a large star symbolizing the Light of Knowledge. Bronze laurel leaves enhance the decoration. High on each pier is a bas-relief figure, sculpted by Professor Earl Cummings, representing one of the academic disciplines. Four nude male figures represent Law, Letters, Medicine and Mining, and four nude female figures represent Agriculture, Architecture, Art and Electricity. When they were installed, the prudish people of the early 20th Century were outraged by the nude figures. Public outcry led Jane Sather to demand their removal. The sculptures were taken down and stored away on campus. Sixty-seven years later they were discovered and reinstalled.

Played with the Golden Ratio using the Golden Spiral on this image. I choose a very tight DOF to help concentrate my focal point of this image of some Jingle Bells.
Enjoy and remember to comment and critique.

Applying to my pile of books on the shelf....
a= height of unread book stack = 5.75"
b= width of read book stack = 3.5"
(a+b) / a = 1.61
Golden ratio = 1.618 (http://www.google.com/search?q=golden+ratio)
Is close to golden = golden?
No.

While not a perfect fibonacci spiral, the eye is drawn up and around - over the curve of the squirrel's back, around its head, around the paws and finally to the piece of food.

Well, I may not have explicitly used the Golden Ratio... although I'm sure you can find examples if you look hard enough. However, being the last day of November, I was going to take a picture of my mustache today regardless of what the challenge was.
If it makes you feel better, the Golden Ratio is approximately 1.61 and my camera has a 1.6 crop sensor. So any picture I took was aligned with the Golden Ratio anyways. ;)
Primary light came from my almost-finished DIY softbox sitting on the floor in front of me (no diffuser panel yet) and there is a wee bit of fill light from the room lights overhead.

Reading How to Make Reading a More Meaningful Experience by Ivan Campuzano - loving the first 5 steps:
"1. Before you start to read get in a comfortable reading position.
2. Begin to pay attention to your breathing, become aware of the air as it gently enters and leaves your nasal passages.
3. As you become more relaxed, increase your awareness to include paying attention to the expansion of your lungs as you inhale and exhale.
4. With practice you will learn to become subtlety aware of your entire body as you inhale and exhale your breath.
5. Now that your mind and body is relaxed, open your book and begin to read..."
I've done a lot of conference liveblogging during this autumn and I've been asked how I keep the whole in order. -The absolutely most important thing is to create a great feeling in the morning. All the rest follows :)

The bulls-eye just missed the mark, though if you look closely it's depicting a moving target, much like when I try to pin down the convergent point in a golden spiral.
The photo is cropped to Golden Ratio, in picnik.com
I added the straight construction lines to find the convergent point.

My poor old Ammonite is not looking too good since i dropped it and it cracked in half. But still, he doesn't look too bad considering he's over 65 million years old!

I've read, I've asked, I've looked at photos but unless the lines are drawn in, I don't see the Golden Ratio and I certainly couldn't figure out how to create a photo.

The number of pennies in each stack follows the Fibonacci sequence F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}. Interestingly, the ratio of successive numbers F_n / F_{n-1} gives more and more accurate approximations to the golden ratio (see here).

It is believed that Erik Satie was aware of and consciously incorporated principles of the Golden Ratio or Golden Section in his music. Notations in the borders his composition notebooks indicate that he was carefully counting measures and creating structure in this and other pieces, that conformed to these principles. And as it says in the description above, Satie named "The Gymnopedies" after an ancient Spartan festival, inspired by his interest in Classic Greek art. There are many examples of the use of the Golden Ratio in ancient Greek art, so it all makes sense.
This photo is a two-fer... because the piano keyboard itself is made up of a series of Fibonacci numbers.
From "Music and the Fibonacci Series": goldennumber.net/music.htm:
There are 13 notes in the span of any note through its octave.
A scale is comprised of 8 notes, of which the
5th and 3rd notes create the basic foundation of all chords, and are based on whole tone which is
2 steps from the root tone, that is the
1st note of the scale.
Note too how the piano keyboard of C to C above of 13 keys has 8 white keys and 5 black keys, split into groups of 3 and 2.
The ratios... 13/8, 8/5, 5/3, 3/2... all have the same approximate value of 1.6 or "Phi", the Golden Ratio number, 1.618. Fascinating stuff!
And a side note: This is one of my favorite pieces to play on the piano, by the way. :-)

I read up on the golden ratio and I still do not comprehend. LOL Maybe this will work, I understand that it's something pleasing to the eye. :-)

The Golden Ratio is illustrated twice here. Once through the Fibonacci sequence upon which the ratio is derived...and again with the remaining cards in which 17 are face up, and 28 are face down creating a ratio of 1.647, very close to the ideal ratio.
