Taking a Look at the Golden Ratio

The Golden Mean in Anatomy The Golden Mean is a mysterious number that has been found in plants, humans, art and even architecture. It was first discovered and studied by ancient mathematicians in Egypt a very long time ago. In the study of mathematics one realizes that many patterns often occur. None have been more relevant or fascinating that the golden ratio. The golden ratio has many names and is often referred to as the golden section, golden mean, golden proportion and golden cut. The golden

basically says that if you divide any screen (television/movie/computer/smartphone) into a grid of equal thirds, the eye is naturally attracted to the 4 points on the grid where those lines intersect (this rectangle is commonly referred to as The Golden Section). Look familiar? It should: if you’ve ever turned on the “Grid” function on your iPhone camera, then you’ve been using The Rule of Thirds for years. So, try using this grid when choosing an image (most photo-editing software programs have something

Fibonacci Sequence is the Golden Ratio which is typically used when discussing the ratio of distances (wolfram alpha). The ratio is approximately 1.6180. It is found by this formula φ= (1+√5)/2≈1.61803 . The ratio has been surrounded by mystery since the time of the ancient Greeks. Many scholars look at the Parthenon statues (built by Phidias, from 490-430 BC) and believe that they were built using the Golden Ratio. Euclid, during his lifetime, became the first to define this ratio. He defined it as “extreme

The following report will be discussing the implementation of ‘Golden rules’ in the practitioner’s setting to help manage and support the behaviour of children aged three to five years old. The need for this implementation was discovered through a SWOT analysis the practitioner conducted keeping in focus the safety of the children. A Swot analysis is a tool used to identify an organisation or settings strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (ODI, 2009). The strengths and weaknesses are related

My infatuation in fractals began freshmen year at Greeley after taking a Seminar with one of the seniors. I’m not sure exactly when simple interest turned to a kind of obsession, but during that lesson something seemed to click. It seemed as if this was the universe’s answer to everything; the mystery was solved, however complex the answer was to understand. I’m still not sure if I was misunderstanding the lesson, or if I had somehow seen it for what it really was; a pattern to describe the way the

some way, follow are ethical norms and Dr. Matthews gave the example of the golden ratio. In some situations, some things are hardwired into our brain to be wrong for example torturing an animal.

A telephoto lens can also change the perspective of the picture, giving a completely new angle or focus to your photo. Also, telephoto lenses are handy at compressing perspective. This is when the background of a photo appears to be closer to the subject than what is experienced with the naked eye. This is beneficial when you cannot physically move your subject closer to the background. You can also fill the frame of your photo by getting shots from a far distance. This will bring in objects further

equations, such as the golden ratio, which can be used to supposedly create the ideal human body. This proportion was used by Da Vinci to draw the “perfect” male body. An individual is said to have a beautiful face when it has a ratio of 1.6180339, or approximately 1.62. Facial symmetry can be measured by dividing the length of a face by the width of the widest part of the face; the closer quotient is 1.62 the more beautiful a face is according to the golden ratio. The golden ratio can also be used on

Theme Kayak and canoeing Action sports… It is very challenging and rewarding to capture moving subject in action. I want to capture this series because it is an appealing subject to me, I believe the purpose for taking shots of kayak and canoes would to interact with the action combined with the danger that is involved in the sport. I want the audience to feel part of the intense moments. Action sports is something that should not be taken from to far if you want to capture the intense moment
