Photography Tip of the Day: Is there more to the rule of thirds than meets the eye?

Some say that the rule of thirds is based on the more complex "golden ratio" (you know, the one that looks like a shell, based on the Fibonacci sequence?)

If you want to really take your composition to the next level, try overlaying the golden ratio instead of the basic rule of thirds when composing your images.

The image I found below is from www.exposureguide.com (thank you!) and shows the three ways the golden ratio can be applied to photography.

And if you're interested in learning a bit more, read this: http://www.photographyicon.com/goldenratio/

Last - did you know you can actually turn this on in Lightroom, instead of the basic crop overlay you see? Just hit the letter "O" when the crop overlay is active! WOWEE COOL!

SO, if you like, show me an image of your that follows the golden rule...I bet you have some that follow it, but not the rule of thirds...and they actually look BETTER!! - Kelly

How This Man Started Photographing the World’s Most Famous Celebrities

Miller Mobley Interview:
How This Man Started Photographing the World’s Most Famous Celebrities


Celebrity/advertising photographer Miller Mobley started taking portraits in college and knew one day he would be known for it. Instead of sitting around and dreaming, he taught himself the business of photography, listened to advice from those he respected, and at the moments when it mattered most, took big risks. It seems to have paid off.

Mobley has taken portraits of many celebrities... more

Brutální rozlišení filmu strčí do kapsy i digitální zrcadlovky

Brutální rozlišení filmu strčí do kapsy i digitální zrcadlovky


Middle format versus large format camera

Noir et blanc - Jan Reich

Brutální rozlišení filmu strčí do kapsy digitální foťáky


... Ty nejlepší černobílé kinofilmy obsahují okolo 140 čar na milimetr. U nás asi nejrozšířenější černobílý film Fomapan 100 obsahuje podle technické dokumentace 110 čar/mm.

Šířka kinofilmového políčka je 36 mm,
jeho horizontální rozlišení je tedy v digitální analogii 2 x 110 čar x 36 mm = 7920 px.
Výška políčka je 24 mm, vertikální rozlišení tedy činí 2 x 110 čar x 24 mm = 5280 px.
Celkem tedy má jedno kinofilmové políčko okolo 41 817 600 pixelů, tedy téměř 42 Mpx !

Ale to jsme u nejběžnějšího a prakticky nejmenšího formátu pro klasickou fotografii. Kromě malého kinoformátu existuje střední a velký formát.
Například starý dobrý středoformátový Flexaret vytváří čtvercové snímky 6×6 cm. Což vychází na rozlišení snímku 13200 x 13200 px = 174 240 000 px ≈ 174 Mpx... !
