Golden Ratio + The Rule Of Thirds

Both the Rule of Thirds and the Golden Ration are extremely impactful to design and visual communication. Not only are they essential to quality photography, but also to art and architecture.

The Golden Ratio represents a common mathematical ratio that is found in nature. When used in art, it helps to create a pleasing, natural looking design. It is approximately a 1:1.61 ratio. It essentially is a large rectangle consisting of a square (which has sides that are equal in length to the shortest side of the rectangle) and a smaller rectangle. Then, if the square is removed from the original rectangle, one is left with the smaller rectangle. This rectangle could also be divided using the Golden Ratio. This can continue on infinitely by dividing the rectangle and removing the square over and over again.

Greek architecture represents the use of the Golden Ratio.

The Rule of Thirds divides an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically, leaving the image in 9 squares. Placing an important point on an intersections or along the lines helps balance the photo and works with how people naturally view an image.

Aspect Ratio & Scanning Methods

Aspect ratio displays the proportions of the width to the height of the screen in the form of x:y. The width is represented by x and height by y. Aspect Ratios: 10" tablet: 4:3 Smartphone: 667:375 Leaderboard Ad: 364:45 HDTV : 16:9 Interlaced and Progressive scanning are the two main ways that devices scan images. Computer monitors and some televisions use progressive scanning, which means that they scan from left to right and top to bottom. Interlaced scanning refers to the method used by most televisions. This system scans all of the odd lines first, and then it scans all of the even lines. Interlaced scanning makes it easier on the viewer's eyes because they are actually only seeing half of the image at once, even though it happens so rapidly that they do not realize it. It also reduces bandwidth use and flickering.

Field of View Variables

Four important variables to consider when composing your field of view are: Camera Location - The point of view (the position of the camera in relation to the subject) is obviously essential to the shot. The physical location needs to be paid careful attention to because it determines what is or isn't in the shot. Camera Angle - the angle of the camera is important because it influences the message of the shot and exaggerates different things in the photograph. Subject Location - this is not always up to the photographer but is just as essential to the shot. The pose and also the landscape around the subject effect the image greatly. Focal Length - this is the lens found on camcorders that gives you latitude to adjust your framing. This helps zooming in and out and to adjust the frame and framing the subject.
