Thanks for the stickers, @hiro !

#TheCompoChallenge #HiroReport

The image shows three sticker-like cards on a black fabric background. 

At the top is a card with a vintage camera illustration. The camera has a thought bubble containing a golden spiral (resembling the golden ratio). A banner below reads "THE PHOTO COMPOSITION CHALLENGE".

Bottom left shows a retro-styled card with "hiro.report" in bold letters, with rainbow stripes underneath. Below that in smaller text: "APPS, GEAR, TECH, FUN".

Bottom right features a circular logo with "THE HIRO REPORT" text curved around the top. Inside is a pixelated character with red hair against a blue background. It includes "Est. 2023" and Japanese characters "ヒロレポート" (which translates to "Hiro Report") at the bottom.

I had a great time taking photos as a part of #TheCompoChallenge. This is a recap of my experience, and shots taken.

Week 5 of #TheCompoChallenge. This week's assignment is using The Golden Spiral.

Thanks again to @hiro for organizing this challenge!

I had so much fun collecting shots, and looking at everyone else's submissions. I will be putting together a recap blog post soon.

A building with a modern design features dark vertical panels and large windows. In the foreground, a tree with pink blossoms is in full bloom. The sky is mostly clear with a few fluffy clouds, and the sun is shining brightly behind the branches.A child wearing a light-colored cap, dark jacket, and jeans slides down a curved, green double slide at a playground. A bright blue sky and a building are visible in the distance.People are enjoying a spinning amusement park ride designed like spaceships. The ride has multiple colorful cars, with "SPACESHIP 10" written on a red car. The sky is clear and blue, with trees and a building visible in the background.

@hiro So, I finally failed at the last task, but I will keep my eyes open. Thank you very much for this nice event. It was a lot of fun and provided inspiration. 🥰#TheCompoChallenge

I am glad to see my pictures from a different perspective and understand why I sometimes prefer one over the other. Here is my submission for the week. ✌🏼 @hiro

View of the sea at sunset, a ferry on the left and a sailboat on the right are drifting towards the horizon.An ancient staircase leads to an equally ancient door. The door is open. The door frame reveals a blue sky and clouds.A fishing hut on stilts is located on the left, facing a calm and peaceful, oil-like sea of a blue-green hue.

not too sure whether or not this meets the criteria but here's my shot for the fifth and last #thecompochallenge assignment: the golden spiral.

thanks @hiro for doing this!

This week's by @hiro was, on my part, dominated by confusion. I couldn’t get my head around the concept of the golden circle. In addition, I couldn’t find time to actually go and shoot, with this concept in mind. So this week’s entries are from the archives – and I still don’t know whether they would fit at all.

In 2019 we went to Japan and also to Awaji Yumebutai by famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The weather was all grey but it was a great trip still. 1/2

If the #thecompochallenge of this week wasn't tough enough, sickness kept me indoors most of the time.

So I had to do it with this sunrise shot from my run on Tuesday and one from a few month ago from Antwerp, both following the golden circle/ratio.

One more for the #GoldenSpiralOfDoom / #TheCompoChallenge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A fire pit filled with rocks is burning brightly, with marshmallows being roasted on skewers over the flame. Part of a child in a yellow shirt and teal pants is visible, holding a skewer. The surrounding area has stone paving, and there are a few wooden rocking chairs nearby.

Well, this was a difficult assignment in #TheCompoChallenge, but I think I was able to meet some of the criteria for The Golden Spiral.

My take on a still life art piece, complete with apples.A plant in front, and distelfinks in back.Chickens coping with each other in a coop.It’s golden, it’s in a spiral. Do these rolls count?

By far the hardest theme for me for #TheCompoChallenge 🥴

It’s been a wild ride on @hiro’s #TheCompoChallenge and I thought this week’s golden spiral challenge would have finally stumped me, but the California Botanic Garden came through for me again, along with my old friend, Bruce Beasley’s Intersections 2.

This is a close-up photograph of a succulent plant with a rosette growth pattern. Pale blue-green, fleshy leaves spiral outward from a central point, creating a geometric arrangement with overlapping layers. The thick, pointed leaves have slight pink tinges on some edges. Sunlight creates soft shadows between the leaves, highlighting the plant's dimensional quality and waxy surface texture. The overall composition shows the natural symmetry and delicate coloration of this drought-resistant plant.The image shows a stark, twisted tree with bare branches arching dramatically over a desert landscape. In the foreground, dry yellow grass and small flowering plants grow alongside a prickly pear cactus. The background reveals more scattered vegetation and shrubs against a light sky, creating a contrast between the dark, gnarled tree structure and the sparse but resilient desert flora below.This outdoor sculpture features several geometric copper or bronze-colored metal cubes and rectangular forms arranged in a dynamic, angular composition. The sculpture projects outward with multiple rectangular pieces intersecting at various angles. Set against a backdrop of trees and vegetation with a blue sky visible, the metallic surfaces show weathering and patina. The abstract arrangement creates a sense of movement and tension through the balanced yet seemingly precarious positioning of the geometric forms.

And Pic COMEDY ENTRY of at least 3 for Week 5 of #TheCompoChallenge which is The Golden Spiral. Inspired by a conversation with Alex & Hiro (writing.exchange/@AlexWolfe/11) about me not knowing what I’m doing. 🥔🤭

The main subject is a potato placed on a wooden surface. Superimposed on the potato is the Fibonacci spiral, also known as the golden spiral, along with the associated golden ratio rectangles.

And Pic 3 of at least 3 for Week 5 of #TheCompoChallenge which is The Golden Spiral

The image depicts a weathered stone staircase curving upwards alongside a large, textured stone wall. The wall has a rugged, uneven surface with dark slate-like stones. On the left of the stairs, there is a metal railing with black paint, showing signs of rust and wear, adding to the aged feel of the scene. Beyond the stairs, a row of parked cars is visible, and in the distance, there are hills under an overcast sky, contributing to a moody, coastal atmosphere.

Pic 2 of at least 3 for Week 5 of #TheCompoChallenge which is The Golden Spiral

The image shows an underground station, likely part of the London Underground, given the sign "Liverpool Street" at the top. It features a long escalator descending into the station, flanked by metallic walls with advertisement panels. The ceiling has a distinctive geometric, arched design with rectangular panels. A person wearing a dark jacket and a light-coloured beanie is seen riding the escalator, looking ahead. Further down, another person is visible, and the escalator is bordered by safety notices. The overall scene has a monochromatic, high-contrast appearance.

Oh no I didn't realize this was the final week of #TheCompoChallenge! I need to get my butt in gear.

2025-03-21

I’m going to use being on holiday as my excuse for aborting on this week’s #TheCompoChallenge (not the fact it’s so difficult), however I do have one from last week that looks like it has a golden spiral in there somewhere.

📐 Final entry! This is the last photo for #TheCompoChallenge.

This last week was a struggle. I couldn’t find the time to go out and look for stuff, so just dug through the archive at home.

The whole thing was a lot of fun! Thanks, @hiro.

Tardy! And incomplete! Here is my Week 4 of #TheCompoChallenge. The assignment was subject isolation and contract, and I had such a hard time finding subjects!
So it goes.

A small giraffe figurine is nestled among vibrant green houseplants on a windowsill. The giraffe has a brown and white pattern, standing out against the lush leaves.A playground with a red and blue slide is in the left foreground. My shadow extends onto the dry grass. A clear blue sky with a few clouds is visible above, with a utility pole and wires in the distance.
