Science popularization: photographic auxiliary line of absolute golden ratio
Science popularization: photographic auxiliary line of absolute golden ratio

In the photography auxiliary line, we have known the role of the golden spiral in the previous article, but now I want to talk about another kind of photography auxiliary line evolved from the golden spiral - the golden section.

 

If you are interested in the golden spiral, you are also welcome to go《 Science popularization: the role of the golden spiral in the camera 》Browse this article.

Next, let's understand the auxiliary line of the golden section.

When you see this composition, you may think it is the one published by Xiao Bian a few days ago《 Science popularization: What is the role of the bisector in the camera? 》The bisector inside is actually not the same. The composition proportion evolved is called the golden section. The above picture is the process of the golden spiral evolving into the golden section. The length of each side of the whole square is 1.618:1:1.618, which fully conforms to the golden ratio. The four points circled by the central editor are all in line with the golden ratio. This composition auxiliary line is actually used in the same way as the trisection line. You just need to see the article about trisection.

 

This composition proportion in line with the golden section is a better composition auxiliary line than the trisection, because every point is in line with the golden ratio. The bisector is just a kind of auxiliary line for beginner composition, and this golden section is a deeper auxiliary line. However, at present, this golden section auxiliary line is very rare, and only some third-party applications can have it. Of course, the most common one is the trisection line.

 

 

The above two examples are just a simple demonstration of a small series, not to say that the main shooting object should be at the golden section. In addition, there are no such auxiliary lines when shooting, and these auxiliary lines are only added later.

In some film shooting examples, it is also easy to find such composition methods. The composition of good films we often see is certainly not a single fixation of actors in the middle, but also in consideration of the background and the golden ratio.

When Iron Man soars in the sky, the camera will not let Iron Man fill the whole picture, but give a large space to the sun and the clouds below, so that people can know the information such as "Oh, the general position of Iron Man's flight is here".

 

There is also Harry Potter on the train. He will not be placed in the middle, but closer to the golden section line.

It seems that this golden section line is not as advanced as the golden spiral line, but in fact, this auxiliary line is simpler and more convenient to use than the golden spiral line. Of course, there are not many auxiliary lines that can be selected on mobile phones. You only need to know the function of the auxiliary line, and there is no need to force.

In fact, the purpose of these popular science stories is to tell you that you don't need to be regular when shooting, and you don't need to be in the middle of the picture. If you shoot too many pictures, you will feel boring and the picture is not vivid at all. If we change the angle and composition, we can get different imaging effects with the same scenery. Wouldn't it be more fun to shoot like this?
