[Fractint] FOTD 05-01-10 (At a Snail's Pace [5])

4 Jan 2010

      FOTD -- January 05, 2010 (Rating 5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image shows another low-order minibrot, this one in the 
parent fractal that results when the formula Z^(1.15)+C is calcu-
lated 115 levels up the logarithmic hyperladder with the 'floor' 
function applied.

The parent fractal of today's image is shaped like an oversized 
torpedo.  The image is located in an area of chaos near the 
northwestern shore line of the parent.  The minibrot at the 
center of the image is shaped more like a snail, which explains 
the name "At a Snail's Pace".

All things considered, the image is merely average and rates an 
average 5.  The image might have rated higher, but we have seen 
so many similar minibrots surrounded by near-circular herring-
bone patterns that all the novelty is gone.

An unusually active, narrow-banded color palette creates most of 
the feeling that something important is going on.

The calculation time of 2 minutes is brief enough to allow 
plenty time for other computerized activities.  Those who cannot 
spare even the 2 minutes may view the finished image on the FOTD 
web site at:

Heavy clouds, a temperature of 28F -2C, a brisk north wind and 
flurries of snow describes the weather here at Fractal Central 
on Monday.  Warm and cozy describes the state of the fractal 
cats.  Busier than expected describes my state, while FL seemed 
rather sulky, probably because I told her on Sunday why my 
attitude is not totally positive.

The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours.  Until then, take 
care, and don't wish too hard for what you want.  You might 
actually get it.
