[Fractint] FOTD 02-02-02 (The Primary Colors [6])

2 Feb 2002

      FOTD -- February 02, 2002 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

There are three primary colors -- red, green and blue.  And then 
there are three more primary colors -- red, yellow and blue.  
The first are the additive primaries, or RGB colors of a fractal 
on the screen; the second are the subtractive primaries, or CMYK 
colors of a fractal on the paper.  Today's image has in it some 
very strong primary colors of both varieties.  For this reason, 
I named it "The Primary Colors".  The rating is only a 6.

The formula behind the image is a very simple one -- Z^2.003+C, 
made more interesting by displaying the part of the infinite 
fractal that lies 1029 turns up the logarithmic hyperspiral.  At 
this lofty height, the parent fractal resembles the Mandelbrot 
set rotated 180 degrees, so that the split along the negative 
X-axis cuts the East Valley area, which at the same time begins 
to broaden.  The midget in the image lies deep in this fractured 
East Valley.

The 15-minute render time is barely bearable.  But impatience 
can be avoided by letting Scott do the rendering and downloading 
the image from his web site, located at:

The fractal weather Friday featured rapid and extreme changes.  
The day began with dense fog, which cleared to a partly cloudy 
sky by 10am.  A light shower passed over at 11am, then it was 
partly cloudy until 3pm, when a brief but strong rain squall 
arose.  The day ended with clearing skies, high winds and 
falling temperatures.  The high of 75F 24C was comfortable 
enough, but the fractal cats' outdoor time was limited by the 
changeable conditions.

It's the start of another week-end here at Fractal Central, and 
I've got a lot of work to do to get the files for the FOTD CD in 
order.  The sooner I get started, the faster progress I'll make. 
So until next time, take care, and have patience.
