[Fractint] FOTD 04-01-06 (Luna Moth [5])

4 Jan 2006

      FOTD -- January 04, 2006 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

The Fractint version of today's discussion is short.  Most of my 
energy went into writing the philofractal version of the discus-
sion, which is far longer and wanders into the field of popular 
relativity.  

Today's image is part of the fractal that results when portions 
of Z and (1/Z) are combined, and (1/C) is added.  I named it 
"Luna Moth" when an early version reminded me of one of those 
large colorful moths sometimes seen at night.  The moth-effect 
has long since gone the way of the moths themselves, but the 
name remains.

The rating of a 5 says it all.  Or perhaps it says nothing, 
since a rating of 5 is average.  The render time of under 6 min-
utes assures that not too much time will have been wasted if the 
image proves disappointing.  Another way to avoid a let-down is 
to visit the FOTD web site at:

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

and download the finished GIF image from there.

An overcast, cold, raw, drizzly day here at Old Fractal Central 
on Tuesday kept the fractal cats confined to the indoors.  They 
were reasonably peaceful considering the situation, and they 
fully enjoyed their extra treat of tuna.  My day was notably 
un-notable.  The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, plus or 
minus an hour or two.  Until then, take care, and if you have 
done something wrong, simply undo it.
