The name refers to ; the color palette, which, except for a few registers, is of very ; low saturation. Sometimes, less of something is actually more ; effective than too much of it however. In today's image, for ; example, the almost-gray outer parts cause the few brilliantly ; colored inner spots to appear all the more intense. Less color ; on the outside gives the impression of more color on the inside. ; ; I rewarded myself a half-point for this minor example of color ; theory. The other 8 points of the rating are due to the ; underlying image itself, which is a scene not all that deep in ; the star of the period-30 elephant on the southern shore line of ; East Valley. ; ; The calculation time of 19-3/4 minutes borders on annoying ; slowness. The arbitrary precision math routine certainly does ; give the ability to wander as deep as one wishes into the ; Mandelbrot and Julia sets, but it takes its good old time ; getting there. Still a slow fractal is better than no fractal ; at all, and isn't something worth having worth waiting for. ; ; But time is time, and to save time, view the finished image on ; the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Or view it is high definition at: ; ; ; ; The original web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The day began with a shroud of fog here at Fractal Central, but ; by 9am the fog gave way to a crystal blue sky. The rest of the ; day featured continued near cloudless skies and a temperature of ; 86F 30C. ; ; The humans' day was another in a long string of days so similar ; that it is hard to tell one day from another. The fractal cats ; never worry themselves about boredom however, they are too busy ; just being cats. ; ; The next FOTD fractal will be posted in about 24 hours. It ; might be late, it probably will not be early, but it is ; virtually certain to be there. Until then, take much care, and ; preserve the faith that technology can save the race from self- ; destruction. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Low_in_Saturation { ; time=0:19:46.22-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel center-mag=0.26061764366814\ 702894431163/-0.00176708064896804837819666/6.32257\ 1e+020/1/140/0 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=6400 bailout=16 inside=0 logmap=1076 periodicity=6 colors=000JJ`KK`LL`MM`NNaOObPPcQQdRReSSfTTgUUfVVfW\ WfXXfYYfZZf__b```aa_bbZcc_ddbeedfffggghhhhhgggfffd\ ffdffgggghhgiigjjgjjeiibgg`eeZccXaaV__TYYTWWTUUTUU\ TUUTUUUUUXUUXUUXUUWUUWUUTUURUUPUUQUURUUTUUWSSYQQ_Q\ Q_OOYMMWKKUIISGGQEEOCCMAAK88I8AF8CD8EC8FC8FD8FFAGH\ BHJ9EG9CE89B999778757A68D79C7AC8CGEILKPTTYaahghrYZ\ hPQ_JJTDDMAAHA9GA8FB8E96A969A68B78C78D88E88F98GA9F\ 98FA8E98EA8EA8DA8DB8DB8CB9CCCBBBCCCGGGLJMPNTUP`ZRi\ XSfWTdVRdNOQGIGGHDHBDHBCHBCIBBPFFWIIkLLzMMeFFIDC88\ 8CEDRUNnz_ipaimihjhhhhkkkhhhfffcbd_XbWTOXK_TJQRNP8\ EBzuZzljf`RYUOzz0```HBBLGGNKJKzznKz111111111111000\ 111222232243354476587486586687888888GECoYW`PNMIFDD\ BEGEHJHKNKMQMNUOQ_SSdVViZYob_teYteXtdYte`tfdthitkg\ teftYlzZozZqzZqz_qz_qz`rzarzbrzbszcszetzftzhuziuzk\ uzlvzovzqvzrwztxzwyzxzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzxzyvzxszvizoczj`zeZzb } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
