Next, we have the golden rule. The golden rule, is also known as the golden mean, and it is a more complex tool. Most professional photographers use this, but if you take this upon to learn, it will help you out dramatically.
I believe it is one of the hardest things to learn in photography. The Golden Mean defines a spiral pattern that shows up repeatedly in nature, in everything from a nautilus sea shell, to a sunflower, to the spiral form of the galaxy itself. It occurs in more natural subjects than you could imagine, some places you can find it are some simple thing, like an ear, or a snail. The Golden Mean is defined by a mathematical sequence of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence. This is why the spiral is sometimes called the Fibonacci Spiral. By definition, the first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each remaining number is the sum of the previous two. So the sequence is: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, going on forever. The ratio of each pair of consecutive numbers approximates phi, or the number 1.618. (5 divided by 3 is 1.666, 8 divided by 5 is 1.60...) By the 40th number in the series, the ratio has stabilized at 1.618, which is accurate to 15 decimal places. You can draw a rectangle that is divided into squares, the ratio of the length of the side of a larger square to the next smaller square is the golden ratio of 1.618:1. A Fibonacci spiral is formed by connecting the arcs, or quarter circles, joining opposite corners of the squares. The Golden Mean and the photography Rule of Thirds don’t quite line up, but they’re close, so you can envision the rule of thirds, then a Fibonacci Spiral close to it, and you’ll be pretty set. This is a tool that you can use and it will make your images pop! Try it ou...

Another man credited for the success of this program is Kyle Leon who was behind the program Customized Fat Loss program. By just paying $47 you will be able to get the zip folder that contains the Adonis Golden Ratio PDF guide. This is the beginning of your introduction into the world of near perfect man. There is a scientific basis to the ratio used in this program. This same ratio was even used by artist and architects to create their version of what the ideally shaped human body should be. Leonardo Da Vinci and Le Corbusier both used this ratio.
In the French coastal town of Saint- Malo in August 1944, War World II is coming to its high point. The allies are landing and fighting against Germany. Anthony Doerr’s “All the Light We Cannot See” is a historical fiction book, with a wide-ranging language and characters who are both courageous and heartbreaking. Doerr brings together the stories of a French girl named Marie-Laure, who has lost her eyesight and a German orphan named Werner. As Hitler upsurges, Marie-Laure and Werner lives and families are torn apart by the war. Anthony Doerr 's’ use of imagery, and metaphor, he stresses the damage of life that war creates. Since the characters were affected by the war and also affected by their experiences, all characters went through a change
Nevertheless, that day followed me, and I tried to understand more about fractals through the resources I already had at my disposal-- through courses I was taking. Sophomore year, through my European History and Architecture courses, I learned about many ancient architectural feats-- Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Giza, the Parthenon, many Gothic Cathedrals, and the Taj Mahal-- and that they all somehow involved the use of the golden ratio. I will come back to how this relates to fractals later in the article, but for now know that each of these buildings use different aspects of their design to form the golden ratio. I was intrigued by the fact that fractals, what seemed to be something only formed by the forces of nature, were being constructed by human hands. Although I wanted badly to find out more, I waited until that summer, when I discovered a YouTube account by the name of Vihart. Vihart’s videos are not tutorials on how to do math, however Vihart’s ramblings about the nature and the concepts of the mathematical world have a lot of educational value, especially on topics that are more complicated to understand then to compute. Her videos on fractal math and their comparability to nature, helped to show me that...
In 1998 a Maryland neurologist, Dr. Christopher Newman, was diagnosed with brain cancer and he could no longer work as a result of his disease. He claimed that the Motorola cell phone he had in 1992 to keep in touch with his patients gave him cancer. Then in 2000, he filed an $800 million lawsuit against several wireless providers including Motorola Inc., Verizon Communications Corp., Bell Atlantic Mobile Systems, and others. Within a month, the U.S. District Judge Catherine Blake dismissed the case due to lack of evidence. This case happened during a time where people were confused about how electromagnetic radiation affects the human body. Fast-forward to today and there is still confusion. A lot of people today feel like they are at risk from developing cancer from electronic devices like cell phones, microwaves, and laptops. That is simply not true.

The ancient Egyptians and ancient Greeks knew about the golden ratio, regarded as a number that can be found when a line or shape is divided into two parts so that the longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to the whole length or shape divided by the longer part. The Ancient Greeks and Romans incorporated it and other mathematical relationships, such as the triangle with a 3:4:5 ratio, into the design of monuments including the Great Pyramid, the Colosseum, and the Parthenon. Artists who have been inspired by mathematics and studied mathematics include the Greek sculptor Polykleitos, who created a series of mathematical proportions for carving the ‘perfect’ nude male figurine. Renaissance painters such as Piero della Francesca an...
The center of a sunflower is an example. If you look at the blooms in the middle you can see the spiral that forms representing the Fibonacci sequence. It is also found in pine cones, pineapples, and in many different flowers. But nature is not the only place we can find this mathematical sequence. It is also found in the computer world in the form of search algorithms. In an article by John Atkins and Robert Geist they note that, “Computer scientists have discovered and used many algorithms which can be classified as applications of Fibonacci 's sequence” (Geist). As you can see the famous Fibonacci sequence is used in everyday places that we never really ever think

...on of light and the rays are proportions in the Fibonacci sequence. Fibonacci relationships are found in the periodic table of elements used by chemists. Fibonacci numbers are also used in a Fibonacci formula to predict the distant of the moons from their respective planets. A computer program called BASIC generates Fibonacci ratios. “The output of this program reveals just how rapidly and accurately the Fibonacci ratios approximate the golden proportion” (Garland, 50). Another computer program called LOGO draws a perfect golden spiral. Fibonacci numbers are featured in science and technology.
Refraction of Light Aim: To find a relationship between the angles of incidence and the angles of refraction by obtaining a set of readings for the angles of incidence and refraction as a light ray passes from air into perspex. Introduction: Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where it's speed is different. The refraction of light when it passes from a fast medium to a slow medium bends the light ray toward the normal to the boundary between the two media. The amount of bending depends on the indices of refraction of the two media and is described quantitatively by Snell's Law. (Refer to diagram below)
The Eye is the organ of sight. Eyes enable people to perform daily tasks and to learn about the world that surrounds them. Sight, or vision, is a rapidly occurring process that involves continuous interaction between the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. When someone looks at an object, what he/she is really seeing is the light that the object reflects, or gives off.
Throughout the centuries, artists have used the golden ratio in their own creations. An example is “post” by Picasso. When using a golden mean gauge you can see that the lines are spaced to the Golden Proportion.
...its relation to the Golden Angle, which appears in the primordia of plants in order to give the maximum number of primordia for plants. I like to think of an idea in the book, ?Life?s Other Secret,? which says that it?s not just Fibonacci Numbers that matter; it?s also the matter in which they arise (Stewart).
