50+ Rule Of Thirds Golden Ratio Background. When it comes to photography, there is a debate whether or not the golden ratio is better than the rule of thirds. You can't exactly argue with the rule of thirds, but there are other alternatives, and one i tend to prefer much more is the phi ratio, or golden ratio as is often.
Using the golden ratio, you split the another (and slightly simplified) way to crop images via the golden ratio is to use the rule of thirds.
So if the golden ratio is more hassle than the rot grid, why should i care about it? In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. Expressed algebraically, for quantities a and b with a > b > 0, where the greek letter phi. The golden ratio is a reoccurring pattern that is easy to find in nature.
