你的設想。

It’s a debate that’s been raging on since the dawn of photography: The rule of Thirds,

這是自攝影誕生以來就一直存在的爭論：三分法則

vs. the Golden Ratio. So what are they, and is one REALLY better than the other?

與黃金比例。它們到底是什麼，其中一個真的比另一個更好嗎？

Hey guys, Tara here for Dnews - and those of you who enjoy photography have probably

大家好，我是 Dnews 的 Tara，喜歡攝影的朋友可能已經

heard of the Rule of Thirds.

聽說過三分法則

It’s a general rule of composition for both photos and film, and it’s the reason almost

這是照片和膠片的一般構圖規則，也是幾乎所有照片和膠片的構圖規則。

all cameras come with those gridlines that divide the photo into 9 equal sections.

所有相機都帶有網格線，可將照片抽成 9 等份。

The basic formula is that the object you’re trying to highlight or bring attention to

基本公式是，你要突出或引起注意的對象

in your photos, should be positioned either along on a gridline or at an intersection

在您的照片中，應沿網格線或在交叉點定位

of two lines. The idea being that it creates more tension and interest, than simply centering

兩條線。這樣做的目的是，與簡單地將兩條線居中相比，它能產生更大的張力和趣味性。

the object.

物體。

For hundreds of years, the Rule of Thirds has been one of the most universally accepted

數百年來，"三分法 "一直是最普遍接受的攝影規則之一。

guidelines for composing photographs. But recently, many have chosen to eschew it in

攝影準則。但最近，許多人在拍攝照片時選擇了放棄它。

favor of the Golden Ratio. So what is the Golden Ratio, and how does it apply to photography?

黃金比例的好處。那麼，什麼是黃金比例，它又是如何應用於攝影的呢？

Well, much like Pi, the Golden Ratio is an irrational number, roughly approximated to

與圓周率一樣，黃金比例也是一個無理數，大致近似於

1.618. And that number is based on a very specific formula. Suppose you have a finite

1.618.而這個數字是基於一個非常具體的公式得出的。假設你有一個有限

line A, and somewhere in the middle of that line is a point, separating it into two segments

直線 A，在該直線的中間某處有一個點，將其抽成兩段

of different lengths. We’ll call the longer line B and the shorter line C.

長度不同。我們將較長的線段稱為 B，較短的線段稱為 C。

Now, if you were divide the length of B by C, and it was EQUAL to the length of A over

現在，如果把 B 的長度除以 C，等於 A 的長度超過

B, then those two numbers would be in the golden ratio. And from there, you can create

B，那麼這兩個數字就是黃金比例。由此，您可以創建

something called a Golden Spiral. It’s a logarithmic spiral - which are found all over

一種叫做 "黃金螺旋 "的東西。它是一種對數螺旋，遍佈於世界各地。

the place in nature - but with a growth factor that’s equal to the golden ratio. Meaning

但其增長因子等於黃金比例。意義

that for every quarter-turn the spiral makes, the line gets 1 Golden Ratio further away

螺旋每轉四分之一圈，直線就會遠離一個黃金分割率

from its center point. Eventually creating something that looks like this. And it’s

從其中心點開始。最終形成的東西看起來就像這樣。它的

this spiral, that’s the basis for the Golden Ratio rule of photography.

這就是攝影黃金比例法則的基礎。

The idea is that by overlaying the Golden Spiral on top of your photographs, you want

我們的想法是，通過在照片上疊加黃金螺旋，您希望

the focal object to line up at the intersection of those two red lines. So if you were taking

焦點物體要對準這兩條紅線的交點。是以，如果您要拍攝

a portrait, for example, you’d want the person’s eyes to be right around that point.

例如，在拍攝肖像時，你希望人物的眼睛就在這一點附近。

You can also expand those red lines along the length of the image, and mirror them on

您還可以沿著影像的長度擴展這些紅線，並將它們鏡像到

the other side, ultimately creating something called a Phi grid - Phi being the symbol for

另一側，最終形成一個名為 "Phi "的網格--"Phi "是 "Phi "的符號。

the Golden Ratio.

黃金比例。

So when people talk about using the Golden Ratio to compose their photos, what they’re

是以，當人們談論使用黃金比例來構圖時，他們的意思是

really talking about, is using a Phi Grid - instead of the grid used for the Rule of

真正的含義，是使用皮網格，而不是用於"......規則 "的網格。

Thirds.

三分之二

As far as grids go, they look relatively similar. But a lot of people claim that the Phi grid

就網格而言，它們看起來比較相似。但很多人認為，Phi 網格

is a better choice, because it produces a more balanced image - especially when it comes

是一個更好的選擇，因為它能生成更平衡的影像，尤其是當涉及到

to landscape photography. The main complaint with the Rule of Thirds is that it can look

風景攝影。對三分法則的主要不滿在於，它看起來會

too obvious - whereas the Phi grid, makes photos appear more natural and less rigid.

而 Phi 網格則讓照片看起來更自然，不那麼死板。

For now, it seems like both options are still valid rules of photography. But the Golden

目前看來，這兩種選擇仍然是有效的攝影規則。但黃金

Ratio is definitely the better choice for certain scenarios, like landscapes, and in

在某些場景下，例如風景，比率無疑是更好的選擇。

general - it’s just a little more pleasing to the eye.

一般--只是更賞心悅目一些。
