The Golden Ratio

Posted by Hoshisato (Ealing, United Kingdom) on 16 May 2009 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

Taken from the bottom of the same stairs I photographed in this photo from above. I'm quite happy with the way both shots came out: the light was poor and in both cases I had to use an open aperture of f/3.5 to reach an exposure, handheld, of 1/8 and 1/4 seconds respectively.
If any other Pentax K20D users are reading this, the new 1.03 firmware really does improve the functionality of the already amazing shake reduction extensively, I would recommend upgrading if you haven't already.

The fun thing of this photo for me is that it matches the swirly composition guide (the Golden Ratio) as included in LightRoom almost perfectly :-)

I'll be in NL for the holidays if I can make it through the forecast snowstorms, see you in 2010! Update: I've not been able to reach Dover for two days in a row now, P&O ferries are not able to take any calls, I have no idea when I'll manage to make it to NL ^_^;;
