The Rule of Thirds and the Golden Ratio

Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is the breaking down of an image into thirds. The image is split into three parts both horizontally and vertically creating nine areas. The idea is that if the most interesting parts on the virtual lines which creates a balanced image 

Before cropping the image shows us that there is a large group of people having a conversation.

After cropping the image makes the conversation look much more private between the two people in the photo, this is how cropping a photo can change what is happening. I have used the rule of thirds so that Michael Eavis' head is on intersection of two lines. 

The Golden Ratio

The golden ratio is a mathematical ratio that has been considered the most pleasing to the eye. It has been used in architecture, paintings and pictures to make it more attractive to the eye.

Before the photo is not straight and the golden rule has not been applied.














After I have applied the golden spiral when cropping the photo which changes the focal point and the depth of the photo. Also, I have straightened the photo which makes it nicer to look at.
