[Fractint] FOTD 15-12-10 (Lucy Lucent [6])

14 Dec 2010

      FOTD -- December 15, 2010 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image lies in the parent fractal that was created when 
I combined two negative parts of straight Z with one part of 
Z^(-2) before adding (1/C).  I should say the image lies *near* 
the parent fractal, since the parent is a small, slightly 
distorted Mandelbrot set surrounded by much smaller and totally 
disconnected M-sets.  Today's scene actually lies some distance 
northwest of the small but main body of the parent.

I named the image "Lucy Lucent" for reasons unknown even to 
myself.  I rated it at a 6 because, even though it has little 
fractal-math content, the striking colors raise it to FOTD 
status.

Most of the effect came about when I applied the 'tdis' option 
to the original rather boring 'iter' image.

The calculation time of 52 seconds sets no speed record, but it 
is brief enough to keep impatience at bay.  And the finished 
image will soon be available at:

Eventually, it will be available on the original FOTD web site 
at:

Lots of clouds, frequent flurries of snow and a temperature 
around 23F -5C kept the fractal cats close to their warm shelf 
most all day Tuesday here at Fractal Central, while the seasonal 
rush kept me close to the FC work desk.  The next FOTD will be 
posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and you never know 
when the FOTD will be a real prize-winner.
