[Fractint] FOTD for Feb 26 -- test

26 Feb 2011

      FOTD -- February 26, 2011 (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

This FOTD will be coming through an indirect route.  But I think 
the problem with the blocked e-mail direct to the Fractint list 
has been solved.  Earthlink says it will take several days for 
me to regain access to xmission however, so I am still not 
claiming that the problem has ended.

Today's rather striking image lies in the parent fractal that 
results when the simple formula Z^(1.5)+C is iterated 3 levels 
up the logarithmic ladder and no function is applied.  This 
parent consists of a reasonably recognizable main bay with a 
disconnected fragment of a filament lying some distance to the 
southwest.  Today's scene lies near a larger minibrot on this 
fragment.

Most of the 'striking' effect is due to my coloring, which 
explains the extra half point I awarded to myself.  The rather 
suggestive name 'A Deep Dark Mystery' refers to the location of 
the scene in its parent fractal.

The calculation time of 2-1/2 minutes is almost blazingly fast, 
especially considering that the image is not a type=mandel, 
which I think uses machine language.

Those who would rather not calculate may view the finished image 
on the FOTD web site at:

Morning rain and afternoon wind marked Friday here at Fractal 
Central.  The fractal cats didn't mind the rain, but they got a 
bit skittish when trash cans started blowing around in the after-
noon.  The temperature of 37F +3C was near normal for the day; 
the wind made it feel much colder however.  The next FOTD is 
schedule to be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and 
beware of fraudulent fractals.
