Today is Easter Sunday, and in Russia the popular name ; for Easter is 'Bright Holiday'. The colors of the image are ; very bright, so I decided to take full advantage of the ; coincidental situation?' ; ; The parent fractal is a wonder to behold. In fact, it's a ; wonder how it can be called a fractal at all. This parent is ; nothing more than a narrow straight vertical stick with buds ; along its edges. It came about when I subtracted plain Z from ; two parts of Z^2 then added (1/C). The scene is located in a ; kind of seahorse-tail associated with a bud on the eastern edge ; of the northern branch of the parent stick. ; ; The seahorse theme permeates the image, with curly tails beyond ; counting. The tiny minibrot at the center is a bit mis-shapen ; in the SF5 image, though at higher resolution it quickly shapes ; up. ; ; The rating of a 7-1/5 includes 1/2 point for the extra coloring ; work. The calculation time of just under 9 minutes is on the ; slow side, so why not save the effort and take a virtual trip to ; view the finished image on the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; Today is Easter Sunday. I am not a believer in resurrecting ; gods, but I am not a totally disbelieving Atheist either. My ; opinion is that something must have happened a couple thousand ; years ago because a religion certainly did get started. I'll ; leave it to the scholars and philosophers to argue exactly what ; did take place back then. ; ; Rather hazy skies dimmed the sun slightly here at Fractal ; Central on Saturday, but the temperature of 75F 24C made up for ; any solar weakness. The fractal cats must have thought it was a ; perfect day, for they were on their best behavior all afternoon. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care ; in whatever way you can, and look on the bright side. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Bright_Holiday { ; time=0:08:51.71-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=recip passes=1 center-mag=+0.7880878839407799/+15.13423460949373/\ 4.659745e+011/1/-84.5/0 params=2/2/-1/1/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=5200 inside=0 logmap=650 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=0000dJ2dO4dU4dX6db9deBdkDdqGdtJdzJfzLhzOjzR\ lzUnzXpz_rzWtzOvzDwz4xv0yr0zm0zh0zc0zh0zm0zr0zv0zz\ 0zz2zz9zzJzzRzzbzwkzqhzkezebz__zXXwUUtUOrULqUGqUOq\ 9cqUhqqmqzrqzvqzzqzvqzrqvpqrmqmkqhqqczqZzqUztKzw6z\ wDzt9zq4zn0zk0wh0we0wb0w_4wX6zU9zRBzOBzLDzJGzGJzDJ\ zBOz9Rz6Xz4_z4bz6hz6kw9nqBtnDwhGzbJzXLzULzXOz_OzbO\ wbOteOqhOkhOhkOenO_nRXqRRtROtRLwRGzRDzRBzR6zR4zR2z\ O0wO0tL0qL0nJ0kJ0eG0bG0_D0XD0UB0RB0LB0J90G90D60B60\ 9404402200200000000000402924D69JDBOLGRRJX_ObeRhnXn\ wbtzewzkzznzztzzwzzwzzwzzwzzqzzhtzbkzX_zOOzJDzD6wB\ Bq9Gk6Le4R_2XX0bR0hL0nG0tB0z60z2z0q0z00z40z90zB0wG\ k0000O00U06X0Jb0_e6nkDznLzqRzhXzbbzXezRkzLqzGtzBzz\ 6zz2zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0zz0qz0hzz_zzRzzJzzBzz4zz0\ zz0zz0zz0zz0zzzzzzz0zz2zz2zz4tz4zz6zz6zz6zzBzzGzzL\ zzRqzXhzbXzhOznGzt9zw0zq0zk0ze0zb0zk0zq6zzGzzRzz_z\ zezzkzzqzzwzznznhzbbzOUzD } frm:MandAutoCritInZ {; Jim Muth a=real(p1), b=imag(p1), d=real(p2), f=imag(p2), g=1/f, h=1/d, j=1/(f-b), z=(((-a*b*g*h)^j)+(p4)), k=real(p3)+1, l=imag(p3)+100, c=fn1(pixel): z=k*((a*(z^b))+(d*(z^f)))+c, |z| < l } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
