Just a tip :-)
My experience is that rendering pictures in 16:9 format can add to the
"impact" a picture makes. This can be simply done by changing the camera
object where the aspect ratio is normaly 5/4. Just change it to 16/9 and
change the rendering size to 16:9 or a multiple of that: 160:90,
320:180, 640:360, etc.
Between words: widescreen motion pictures use 2.35:1 I never used it
however. Maybe someone can posts some examples here.

Just for fun, here are some common 16:9 w/h values
16x9 image formats

320 180 320 569
512 288 512 910

Yep. Actually I think 16:9 is wide, 2.35:1 is "cinema". Or at least in the
Goldeneye video options. :)
The default is actually 4:3, not 5:4.
Other good ratios are tau (~1.618:1), the golden ratio, 2.5:1, panoramic?,
and 4:5.
Gilles Tran has some great renders at 2.5:1,
http://www.mediaport.net/Artichaud/Tran/gtran.en.html
I have a render in tau, a render in 5:4 (vertical 4:5), and the mc escher
gallery is square, http://davidf.faricy.net/raygall.html

I thought the golden ratio was ~1.618:1 ....
Unless I'm not reading the above sentence properly.

Yes it is. I should have made the commas after ratio and panoramic semicolons
probably. Not like they teach this kind of stuff in school anymore. ;-)

I think you mean 4:3, technically speaking 4:3 is considered
widescreen as eary filmaking was done in that ratio. Citizen Kane
was done that way.

Some of my posts are 2.35:1.
If you want an interesting read about Widescreen Cinema, a bloke named John
Belton wrote a book of that name, full of tales of odd film formats with
even odder names - Magnascope, Veriscope, Anamorphoscope, Cinerama,
CinemaScope, CinemaScope 55, Todd-AO, Viventoscope, Polyvision, Grandeur,
Natural Vision, Realife, Imax, Omnimax, Circarama, Ultra Panavision,
VistaVision, Panavision, and WarnerSuperScope (which never got past the
drawing board - which is a shame as it's such a great name!).
And then there's letterboxing, pan-and-scan (or pan-and-scandal), anamorphic
lenses/projection, curved screens...
I feel a headache coming on.

Ok, BUT I have 1 warning:
Whenever I get a raytrace that comes out really well, I like to make it my
wallpaper. It does not work for 16:9 images. well, not 'stretched' anyways.
Here is my std 16:9 Camera. Add it to your Insert Menu.
// std 16:9 Camera (for landscapes)
camera{
location <0, 0, -10>
direction 1.5*z
right 16/9*x
look_at <0.0, 0.0, 0.0>
}
