| April 5th, 2020 (One of many tech tools) The Fibonacci (number) series, as sometimes used in art forms and | |
| in helping to create more interesting photographic compositions… | |
| 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34… A series of numbers in which each number (Fibonacci number) is the sum of the two preceding numbers. |
 |
 |
| (Adobe) Photoshop CC & Lightroom CC both feature several rotating Fibonacci cropping options for photographers. |
| Click the link below to see 3 ways to better crop your photos for some added interest. |
| Fibonacci (naturally observed and applied applications) as seen in seashells, galaxies, art, and photography. |
 |
 |
| Tech related photog assist - check out the 3 tutorials… |
 |
| Lesson over, think about it, search the internet, magazines, and your photos for an actual or a possible Fibonacci or other crop. |
|
|
 |
| Click the pic below to compare a possible improvement in the composition, (a background flag was also removed)… |
 |
| Above are 2 older photo recropped using a (Lightroom CC or Photoshop CC) Fibonacci grid line as an example. The spiral shape can also be |
| (somewhat) eyeballed when taking a photo, but better applied in a post-edit crop using a spiral shaped, overlay tool. |
