After looking at your blogs about the Golden Proportion, I'm realizing that not many of you really understand what it's about. I figure that I need to revisit it and I hope that perhaps this really nice image of berries that one of you provided me might be more effective than me prattling along in front of the projector.
This photo is the original photograph. (I put in the spiral) As you can see, the berries are in the lower middle of the frame which gives the photo a sense of weight and balance. However, it doesn't meet the Golden Proportion. (Remember, it doesn't have to to be an effective photo. However, it does need to meet the GP for the purpose of this assignment.)
I pulled this photo up into Photoshop and cropped it. (I apparently washed out the color somehow as well.) You can see that the photo is not much different but small differences can make a good photo into a great one. Now that you all have learned how to crop a photo, I want you to practice cropping to bring an image into line with the Golden Proportion. Save your image as a jpg and post it.
.....And Kira, get off Skype! <grin>
