[Fractint] FOTD 11-03-14 (Bits and Pieces [A-8.5,M-5])

12 Mar 2014

      FOTD -- March 11, 2014 (Rating A-8.5,M-5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

In today's image we began with yesterday's parent fractal and 
tweaked the exponent of Z from 3.001 to 3.01.  Then, instead of 
checking the valley on the negative X-axis, we checked the 
valley on the positive X-axis.  Today's image, which rates an 
exceptional art value of 8-1/2, is the result.

The art rating is worth every half point, but the math aspect is 
so overworked that I could rate it ho higher than a modest 5.

The name "Bits and Pieces" can mean whatever one wants it to 
mean.  In today's image it refers to the semi-organized confetti 
scattered throughout the frame.

The calculation time of 2 minutes will pass quickly enough once 
the brilliant colors become apparent.  Visiting the web sites 
can cut the wait even faster.

The official FOTD web site will be up to date very soon.

Lots of sunshine and a high temperature of 64F 18C made today 
the most enjoyable day so far this year here at Fractal Central. 
The older fractal cat enjoyed the sunshine, while the younger 
continued her recovery.  The humans wished they had more time to 
enjoy the sun.

The next FOTD will be posted shortly.  Until shortly arrives, 
take care, and I see that the second "Cosmos" series has hit the 
TV after a wait of over 30 years.  I wonder if it will be just 
another plug for rationalism and the scientific method.
