A few posts down, Kort (TwoPynts) sparked my curiosity about the golden ratio. I came across this nifty webpage that allows you too open up a picture to see if your composition happens to match up to the golden ratio. It's best if you have Internet Explorer, so that you can open up the picture straight off your own harddrive. Otherwise, you have to provide the web link to the picture. >>edited cuz I typed "ration" twice! lol<<

Now that is a real good link. Thanks

Yes where the saying the golden rule comes from I know from my Art studies 20 years ago that this is a great theory for composition for artists as well as photographers. The link is very helpful.. It is a good experiment to try images that appeal to ones eye and more often than not they match up with one of the golden ratio rules. Thankyou

Excellent link and a great help ! Already in my favourites !!! THANKS !

Very cool...was mentioned a short time ago and I visited the page, but it didn't work. Turns out it was Safari. I opened it in Firefox and it worked fine. Thanks for making me take a second look! =] There are a lot of resources on the web about the golden mean/spiral/ratio and sacred geometry. Wikipedia has a good overview of the Golden Ratio, but there are also countless Sacred Geometry sites worth exploring if this interests you. ------- *We are all caught in the spiral...*

Um sorry to be dim (not) but the golden mean has nothing what so ever to do with photography, it is primarily used in classical architecture to give visual balance to a building. Are you sure you meant the Golden Mean and not the Rule of Thirds? If I am wrong which I don't beleave I am in this regard then that is the way it is I really do not have time to get into long winded debates over this, I have said what I want to on this matter and thats it.
