My destination was the ; eighth valley out the negative X-axis, where I stopped and found ; a midget near the surface of a spiral. ; ; The broken, chaotic nature of the scene is typical of the area, ; which is one of the most difficult to explore in the M-set. ; ; The maxiter of the image is an immense 250,000, and even this ; fails to fully resolve the midget at the center. The logmap of ; close to a negative 34,000 confirms the difficulty of the area. ; ; Since I put almost no effort into the image, and because such ; fractals have been seen often, I could rate the image no higher ; than a 3.5. I gave the image a fractional rating to spare it ; the indignity of a rating of a shameful 3. When the render time ; of 39 minutes is considered, the overall value comes in at a not ; very impressive 8.9. I named the image "High-Order Valley" ; because it is located in a valley of high order. ; ; The best way to see the image is to download it from the FOTD ; web site at: ; ; ; ; Tuesday and Wednesday were quite pleasant here at Fractal ; Central, and the cats enjoyed the conditions to the utmost. But ; this morning is starting with a light rain. The cats already ; look unhappy. ; ; I'll be unhappy until I finish the pile of work before me. ; Until next time and next fractal, take care, and things will get ; better. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= High-Order_Valley { ; time=0:39:23.39--SF5 on a P200 reset=2003 type=mandel passes=1 center-mag=-1.40114016879128400/+0.000003334519280\ 19/1.183764e+011/1/132.500439777237176/-0.00037265\ 1854078746847 params=0/0 float=y maxiter=250000 bailout=9 inside=0 logmap=-33650 periodicity=10 colors=00060R00U00W00Z03a06d09g0Bj0Em0Hp3Ks6Nv9RyB\ UzEWzHWzKUzNUyRRvURsWNpZNmaKjdKggKgjHmmEpmBspBvp9z\ s6zv3zv3zy0zy0zz0zz0zzBzzUzzgzztzztzzszzrzyqzsrzjs\ zdtzZuzRvzKszEmz6iv0dp0Zj0Wd0RZ0KU0HN0BH09E0djazzm\ zzmzzdzyKza3vH0m00d00R00U00W00Z00Z00a00d00g00g00j0\ 0m00p00p00s00v00y00y00z00z00z00z00v00m00d03WBENRUE\ dg6ps0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0vz0mz0dz0Uz0Kz0Bz\ 03z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z00z30z60zB0yH0pN0zmHza0jR0\ U90RB0NE0NH0KK0KK0HN0HR0EU0BW0BW09Z09a06d06d0Bd0Hg\ 0Kj0Rm0Up0Zs0av0gy0mz0pz0vz0yz0zz0zz0zz0vz0jz0Zz6N\ zEBzR0zZ0zj0zp0zs0zv0zy0zz0zz3zz6zzBzzHzzNzzRzzWzz\ azzdzzjzzpzzvzzyzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyzsvzjsz\ amzUjzKgzBdz3az0Zz0Wz0Uz0RzKWzNZzNdzNgzNmzRpzRvzRy\ zRzzUzzUzzUzzUzzWzzWzzWzzKzzWzzdzzmzzvzzzzzzzzzvzz\ pzzmzzjzzgzzdzzazzZzzZzzWzzUzzRzzNzzKzzKzyHzsEzpBz\ j9zgBzZ9zd9zg6zj6zm3zp3zs } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ;
