The parent fractal is a ; lumpy thing. It has a large minibrot lying in a field of debris ; just southwest of its main body. This minibrot vaguely ; resembles a Mandelbrot set with its west half cut off and two ; East Valleys instead of one. Today's image lies in one of the ; two East Valleys of this minibrot. ; ; The rating of an 8, which includes a full point for the ; coloring, might be a bit too liberal for an image with such a ; dark aura. The rating is based mostly on the effect of ; sunlight breaking through dark clouds, though the 'sun' is ; actually only a minibrot. ; ; The name "Ominous Foreboding" expresses the dark, threatening ; feeling that the image somehow brings. ; ; The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes will pass quickly by ; fractal standards, where calculation times of hours or days are ; common. And the FOTD web sites can eliminate even this brief ; wait. ; ; Save time and energy. Visit the official FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; where the image has already been calculated and is posted in ; finished form. ; ; The high definition image is posted in at: ; ; ; ; The original classic FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; Total sun and a mild temperature of 48F +9C made today an ; unusually pleasant end-of-February day here at Fractal Central. ; The fractal cats, who never worry about the outdoor conditions, ; were quite happy with the weather, and spent most of the ; afternoon stretched out in the sun on their shelf. With too ; much repetitious things to do, we humans rarely get to stretch ; out in the sun. We spent the day doing stuff too ordinary to be ; worth mentioning. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take ; care, and if everything is an illusion as mystics say, then the ; realization that everything is an illusion must also be an ; illusion. And of course, it follows logically that the above ; sentence must also be an illusion. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Ominous_Foreboding { ; time=0:02:30.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandelbrotBC2 passes=1 periodicity=6 center-mag=-0.791927327867/-0.10521281488/1567359/\ 1/-82.5/0 params=1.55/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=2500 inside=255 logmap=263 colors=000400500600500700000100200300400501A00E19F\ 2HG3P03E03J13O23U33c43m53z69v7Fr8Km9QhAWcB`cCfcDkc\ HlcKlcOlcRmcVmcYmcamcdnchnckncnncomcolcolcokcpkcpj\ cpjzpizpqzqszqzzqqzqxzqzzpzzpzzpzzpzzzzzzzzzzzzzzk\ kHkkJkkKkjLkjMkjOkjPkiQkiRkiSkiUkhVkhWkfXkhYjfZie_\ i__h``h``g_acVafXbeWbeUcVKcZRdcQdbOeG9XOEf`KgHETG3\ U95M87K38F97N85G84K52I61O60L60Z70ZA0WD0UF0SX4dY4b_\ 4_`4Yb5Wb5Uc5Sd5Pf6Ng6Lh6Jf6Hg7Jh8Kh9Mh9NfAOfBQeCR\ eCSdDUbEVaFW`FY_GZYH_XIaWIbUJcTKeSLfQLgPMiONjNNkQQ\ iSShVUfNuSNvVMvYMw`LwcLxfLxhuJNrIRpHUnGXlF_jFbhEef\ DhdCkbCneBvcAya9zd9zfHxhProXkvd`xkbyrdzyevwgruiotk\ krlgqndop`nrXlsUkuQiwNhx`Y6a_8a`AbaCbbDbdFceHcfJcg\ KfPZi6lkAjlDimGhnJfoMepPdrSbsVatY`u`ZvcYwfXtgZqh_n\ iakjbhkdfkeclg`mhYnjVokTomQpnNqpKrqHssFstHroIqkKpg\ LocNn_OnWPmSRlOSkKUjGViCWi8NzzEzz6zz5zz4zz3zz2zz2z\ z5zz8zzAzzDzzFzzIzzOzzzzz } frm:MandelbrotBC2 { ; by several Fractint users e=p1, a=imag(p2)+100, p=real(p2)+PI q=2*PI*floor(p/(2*PI)), r=real(p2)-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|
