I ; return to the area today because I originally saw in it some ; FOTD potential. The image is located in one of the two East ; Valleys of a small Mandeloid just west of the main Mandeloid of ; the parent fractal. ; ; I named today's image "Wine-Dark Fractal". The background ; colors remind me of light passing through a bottle of red wine. ; The name also creates an ancient Greek atmosphere, and as we ; know, those classic Greeks were quite big on geometry. ; ; The image itself has an overall dark, subdued appearance, with ; curved strips of brilliantly colored confetti standing out like ; fireworks in the night sky. ; ; The rating of a 6-1/2 could be on the conservative side, but the ; fact that this is the second expedition into the same fractal ; area knocks a point off the rating. ; ; The calculation time of just under 2 minutes will take the ; frustration out of the calculation task. ; ; Enjoy the image without the need to calculate it by visiting the ; FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; The image is posted in high definition at: ; ; ; ; The classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Overnight rain ended by daybreak today here at Fractal Central, ; leading to a cloudy, muggy day with a temperature of 79F 26C. ; All of this must have agreed with the fractal cats, who have no ; idea of their fractal nature and seemed unusually relaxed. ; ; Being a human, (at least the last time I checked), I found the ; day a bit too routine and slightly boring, but that's how it ; seems to go in the second half of life. FL found her excitement ; worrying about the economic situation. The next FOTD will be ; posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and 100 years from ; now we'll be asking, 'where were you when the end came'? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Wine-Dark_Fractal { ; time=0:01:58.20-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC3 function=recip passes=1 center-mag=-0.888013446870261/+0.1672559348360887/\ 6.757468e+007/1/95/0 params=2.15/0/2/0 float=y maxiter=3600 inside=0 periodicity=6 colors=000U09R08P08M08J07G07E07H0CK0HN0MQ0RT0WW0`Y\ 0dw0MtgQqdUn`YkY`hUdeRhbNkiKzeGzaDzaFzaGzaHzaIzaJz\ aKzaLzaMzaNzZMzXLzVLzSKzQJzOJzLIzJIzHHzEGzCGzAFz7E\ z5Ez3Dw1DcAJYIOXQUWZZVfdUniTvnStkVriXpgZnd`lbbj`dh\ ZffWhdUjbSl`QnZNpXLrVJtTHvWMnZRgaW_d`TgeMjjEmo7ps0\ qrGqrVqri023Bon9ih8dc7_Z6VU5QP4KK3FF2AA155KLcIJ`HI\ YGGWEFTDEQCCOABL99I88G67D55A448225112YbNV_LTYKRVIP\ THNQFLOEJLCHJBEHACE8AC7895674442221Wf1GL0I8EF6BC59\ 9476243126rs5lm4gg4ab3XX3RS2MM1GG1BB055cmvU`gKPTAC\ ETtqQnkNhfKb`HYWESRBML8HG5BA255tq1ol0jh0ec0a_0XV0S\ R0NM0F00K08O0HS0IV0HQ0GN0FK0DG0BD08A06604302000000\ czcL_VEOL7CA6sH5lF4fD4`B3V92O72I51C30619Ls8Im7Gg6E\ b5CX4AS38M26G14B025zZFtUDnPChKAb79X67Q56J34C23511y\ VEtSDpQClOBhMAdK9`I8XG7SE6OC5KA4G83C62841420knHabD\ SQAJH6983F3SD2PC2MA2J91G71E61B408305102CZeBVaASZ9P\ V8MS7JO6GL5DH4AE37A247123 } frm:MandelbrotBC3 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100 p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*fn1(p/(2*PI)) r=real(p2)+PI-q Z=C=Pixel: Z=log(Z) IF(imag(Z)>r) Z=Z+flip(2*PI) ENDIF Z=exp(e*(Z+flip(q)))+C |Z|
