[Fractint] FOTD 18-01-06 (NO RATING)

      FOTD -- January 18, 2006 (NO RATING)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The hectic time here at OFC continues, and from the looks of 
things, will get only worse.

Today's image shows a midget in the Z^1.3+C Mandeloid as it 
appears one level up the complex logarithmic hyperspiral.  Since 
I put virtually zero effort into the image, I have neither named 
nor rated it.

All these low-order midgets have a similar appearance, kind of 
like they were exploding.  In fact, I think one of the very 
first FOTD's was an image of a low-order midget that I named 
"Exploding Midget".

In today's particular scene, the passes=b option is the fastest, 
and when it works, it is always the most interesting to watch in 
action.  Of course, with an image that renders in only 2-3/4 
minutes, the few seconds saved is of little consequence.

What is of consequence is the fact that the pre-rendered GIF 
image has been posted to the FOTD web site at:

       <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>

from where it may conveniently be downloaded.

Dry but cloudy and chilly weather prevailed all day Tuesday here 
at Old Fractal Central.  The cats showed their displeasure by 
passing the day sulking on their shelf.  The evening treat of 
tuna cheered them somewhat.

For me it was a very busy day.  At this time I can give only a 
33-percent chance that I will have a chance to post a FOTD 
tomorrow.  But check anyway.  A 1/3 chance is far better than a 
zero chance.  Until next time, take care, and be ready for 
anything.
