Fractal of the Day
by Jim Muth
|
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: The eight red elements around the midget reminded me of eight portly gentleman when I first saw them. So I named today's picture "Eight Gentleman". It's an average quality FOTD image, so I rated it an average 5. The parent fractal, which was created by the formula: -0.75Z^(-1.23)-0.75Z^(1.23)+(1/C), is in the shape of a large island with a Mandeloid shaped lake in its center and Mandel bays along the outer shoreline. Today's image is located on the north shore of the main bud of the inland lake of the parent fractal. The outer shoreline of this parent fractal looks quite promising. Since I'll have little time to search for new fractals in the near future, I'll likely be exploring the many bays along the outer shoreline in the next FOTD's. With a rendering time of under 8 minutes, the parameter file is not too slow, but downloading the GIF image from: The fractal weather today featured clouds, fog and rain, with a temperature around 38F (3C), which kept the dynamic duo of fractal cats confined indoors. It also kept me confined indoors, but I had plenty work to keep me busy. And now it's time to shut the shutters, power down the fractal shoppe, and call it a night. Until next time, take care, and are fractals as real as ghosts? Jim Muth jamth@mindspring.com |
