Dear Lifehacker, My camera takes great pictures in most lighting situations, but I get blurry and/or noisy photos when there's not a lot of light. Do you know how I can take better low-light photos without spending a bunch of money? Music by Gold'n Teasdale

How to Get the Best Color Out of Your Photos

Compose with Fibonacci's Ratio for Phenomenal Photos
If you're looking for a way to draw more attention to the crucial elements in your photographic composition, the Fibonacci Ratio offers a way to direct your viewers eye to the critical parts of your photo. Earlier this year we highlighted another great composition rule, the Rule of Thirds, in our guide to getting more out of your point and shoot camera . Digital Photography School takes an interesting look at another composition rule, Fibonnacci's Ratio. Often referred to as the "divine ratio" because of the numerous places it appears in the natural world—such as the spiral of Nautilus shell—it offers a way to guide your viewer's eye to the area of the photo you want them to focus on. When applied to photography, this ratio can produce aesthetically pleasing compositions that can be magnets for the human sub-conscious. When you take the sweet spot of the Fibonnaci Ratio and recreate it four times into a grid, you get what looks to be a rule of thirds grid.
