Greetings, For those that wish to view some interesting images, the "entry submittal period" for the competition ended at the first of this month. There are now around 130 entries divided unevenly amongst three different categories. And they may be viewed by going to the following location: http://www.fractalforums.com/index.php?action=gallery;cat=36 By the way, one of those categories is called "Fractal Movies", with 19 videos available for watching. These may take a bit longer to view than the typical .JPG and .PNG graphics. For those that are Members, you may also "rate" images for the current voting period, which ends June 1st. Sincerely, P.N.L. -------------------------------------- http://www.Nahee.com/PNL/Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/

FOTD 06-05-10 (Minibrot All Aglow [8])
by Jim Muth 06 May '10

06 May '10

FOTD -- May 06, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: These minibrots keep coming. I wonder how many potential mini- brots might possibly exist in all the fractals that hold mini- brots. Before I begin counting I must admit that today's image, which is all minibrot, is indescribable. I could report that almost all of the image consists of 'inside' stuff made visible by the 'bof61' inside fill, but this gives no idea of the appearance of the image. I could state that the image is almost monochrome, but neither does this give an idea of its appearance. I could say that the parent fractal is also beyond description, but what good does this do? I named the image "Minibrot All Aglow". This might give a vague hint of its appearance. I rated it at an 8, but lots of other FOTD images have had this rating, so this is of no help at all. In the end, the only way to see today's image, one of the more unusual FOTD images, is to run the included lightning-fast para- meter file or go to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and view the finished image there. Another absolutely perfect day prevailed here at Fractal Central on Wednesday, this time without the brief but heavy storms. The fractal cats rejoiced when the temperature reached 77F 25C. At least, their antics seemed like rejoicing to me. My day was near average, but FL had a frustrating day when she discovered that the local rabbits have been nibbling at her newly planted flowers. The next glorious FOTD will be posted in 24 hours, and believe it or not, it is likely to be an alternate version of today's image. Until then, take care, and when rich people go bankrupt, why do they still have a lot more wealth than the average person who is in good financial shape?

FOTD 05-05-10 (Way Out There [7?])
by Jim Muth 05 May '10

05 May '10

FOTD -- May 05, 2010 (Rating 7?) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's image rates a qualified 7. IMO, it is actually worth a full unqualified 7, but how many times have we seen similar mini- brots this far out and even farther out on the negative spike of the Mandelbrot set? This is about as far out on the spike as we can go with the SF5 resolution in the search for minibrots before the number of radi- ating rays increases to the point where Moire-pattern distortion spoils the image, as is already happening near the center of today's scene. The magnitude of over 6*(10^59) means that, at the scale of today's image, the entire Mandelbrot set would be many orders of magnitude larger than the size of the entire visible universe. Yet I still wonder whether today's minibrot, which was so easy to find, has ever been pictured on a computer screen before now. At this point of the M-set, changing the bailout radius has a huge effect on the appearance of the image. To see a totally different version of today's scene, increase the bailout to 5. Decreasing the bailout to 3 obliterates the image. The name "Way Out There" refers to the position of the minibrot on the spike of the M-set. The magnitude of the image is well beyond the point where arbi- trary precision math becomes necessary. Luckily, the arbitrary math routine works quite efficiently on the negative spike, which enabled today's image to calculate in only 4-3/4 minutes. The finished image may also be seen on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Most of Tuesday was quite pleasant here at Fractal Central, with lots of sun, spectacular billowing clouds and a temperature of 75F 24C. But the pleasant periods came with a price. A heavy thunder-storm with hail passed over at 2pm; another passed over at 3pm, this time without the hail. Fractal cat Cassie took shelter in the closet when things got noisy, but Nicholas, taken suddenly courageous, watched the action from the window shelf. My day was otherwise uneventful. Don't be surprised if the next FOTD appears on schedule in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and let me know when we get men bearing the U.S. flag back on the moon.

FOTD 04-05-10 (Bubbles of Delight [8])
by Jim Muth 04 May '10

04 May '10

FOTD -- May 04, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: I must be on a roll, or at least on a skip. The well-above- average images seem to be coming without effort. I thought today's image would be a total loss until, out of curiosity, I applied the 'tdis' option to its outside parts and found today's bubbling basin. After a bit of color tweaking, I named it "Bubbles of Delight". The most incredible thing about today's image is that it has no parent fractal. No, the image is not the parent fractal itself; it is merely a tiny section of its invisible parent fractal. When viewed at the default magnitude of 0.67, today's image becomes nothing more than a few circular iteration bands with no open inside parts. It is only at a great magnitude that things of interest appear. The rating of an 8 seems about right. The calculation time of 33 seconds is certainly right. The trip to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> may not be quite as fast, but it will eliminate the need to set up and run the included parameter file. Monday here at Fractal Central had a split personality. The morning brought heavy clouds and heavy rain showers. But just after noontime the rain suddenly ended, the sky magically cleared and the sun blazed forth, leading to an afternoon of gentle breezes and a temperature of 81F 27C. The fractal cats paid little attention to the outside conditions. In the summer months, they need no sun to keep them comfortable. My day was about average -- dull but average. The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and don't get stuck with stickers.

FOTD -- May 03, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's steel-blue image is rated at an 8 and named "Halfway There". The name refers to the minibrot at the center, which is of the '3-1/2' variety, and 3-1/2 is halfway between 3 and 4. The parent fractal resembles two Mandelbrot sets partially over- lapping in a north-south direction. Today's image is located just off the positive X-axis in a very tiny valley in a tiny bud at the eastern extremity of the parent fractal. The magnitude of over 8*(10^13) stretches the conventional math routine a bit, but the resolution breakdown is barely noticeable. There is little more to be said about the rather pleasant image except that to see it, run the included parameter file and wait 3 minutes or go to the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> and view it there at once. Sunday here at Fractal Central featured heavy clouds and occa- sional sprinkles of rain. The high humidity and temperature of 82 28C made it feel like midsummer and made the fractal cats feel like stretching out on the living room rug. My day was peaceful enough despite a philosophical discussion with FL in the afternoon about the world's over-population problem. There will be no problem however preparing the FOTD for May 4. It is already in the bag, and will be set free in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and the solution to the over-population problem is to eliminate the excess population now infesting the surface. Do I see anyone volunteering to be eliminated and help save the earth? The first 5-billion will be considered heroes. . . . what? . . . there are no volunteers. (Hey, don't look at me like that!)

FOTD 02-05-10 (Pints and Quartics [8])
by Jim Muth 02 May '10

FOTD -- May 02, 2010 (Rating 8) Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts: Today's FOTD is late. As advised earlier, the reason is an antiquing expedition that arose on Saturday, this time to State College. Things went well enough until we were halfway back and passed a string of horse-drawn Amish buggies. When FL saw the buggies, she casually asked me what I feel is wrong with the modern world. Luckily, I said I don't know and remained quiet. If I had started to answer, I would still be talking, 15 hours later. It's a good thing fractals don't ask such tempting questions. (Or do they?) The parent fractal of today's image is a combination of quadra- tic and quartic features. It resembles a Mandelbrot set with a few extra bays. Today's image, which lies in the north branch of the valley separating the two largest bays, has lost all its quadratic features. The name "Pints and Quartics" is totally whimsical. The rating of an 8 is good enough to make the image worth the effort of the 2-minute calculation time. The already-calculated image is or soon will be posted for effortless viewing on the FOTD web site at: <http://www.Nahee.com/FOTD/> Summer arrived over a month early here at Fractal Central in Central PA on Saturday. Not only was the sun hot, but the temperature reached 88F 31C and the humidity made its first appearance of the year. The fractal cats slept through most of the early summer conditions. When we returned from the antiquing expedition, the rest of the evening was uneventful. The next FOTD will be posted in 12 hours, more or less. Until then, take care and good answers are sometimes quite elusive.
