Since blue is a ; serene color and I seem to see a bit of haziness surrounding the ; brilliant center of the image, I named it "A Hazy Serenity". ; ; The parent fractal was created when I subtracted Z^(1.7) from ; Z^(0.3) and added straight C. This parent appears as a ; distorted Mandelbrot set rotated 180 degrees. It has no main ; spike pointing east but this lack is made up for by an ; unexpected area of chaos where its East Valley should be, which ; is on the west side of its main bay. Today's scene is located ; in a patch of this chaos on the southwest shore line of the main ; bay. ; ; The minibrot at the center is not rotated to the 'normal' ; orientation, with East Valley on the right side, as are most of ; the minibrots in the FOTD's. I got lazy. But the minibrot is ; so tiny that its wrong orientation is hardly noticeable. In ; addition, the minibrot is somewhat beyond full resolution. ; ; The rating of a 7-1/2 includes a 1/2 point bonus for the ; coloring, which I worked on for almost 30 minutes. The ; calculation time of just under 3 minutes is a cheap price to ; pay for the image. The trip to the FOTD web site at: ; ; ; ; to see the image already completed, costs even less, ; ; Heavy clouds, occasional rain and a temperature of only 54F 12C ; made Monday an unpleasant day here at Fractal Central. The ; fractal cats were too busy getting into indside trouble to ; notice the outside conditions. Cassie somehow wrapped herself ; in a blanket and was unable to get the blanket untangled when ; she wanted to get out. If we had not heard her calling for ; help, she might have been stuck there for hours. ; ; For me the day was average, and what could make a duller story ; than that. For FL the day was busy, but I gave moral support. ; The next FOTD will appear in 24 hours, almost by magic. Until ; then, take care, and look onward toward the vastnesses of the ; world of fractals. ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; jimmuth@aol.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= A_Hazy_Serenity { ; time=0:02:56.79-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=basicer.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident passes=1 center-mag=-0.5865278768076774/-0.4425192247142974\ /3e+012/1/-152.5/0 params=1/0.3/-1/1.7/0/0/0/0 float=y maxiter=1000 inside=0 logmap=226 periodicity=6 mathtolerance=0.05/1 colors=000I4MI5PJ6SJ7VJ8YJ8`J9cJAgJBjJBmJCqJDtJDwD\ 1xH7yKHzNMzQQzTVzW_zZezajzdpzguzKblLZmMWnNTnOQoPNo\ QKpRHpSEqSBqPGlMKgJObGSYKWTU_OccJmgEzn9zzzzzzzzzzz\ zXmUVzUUkVTzVRjVQzWPiWNzXMgXLzXPhUSzRVjOYzM`kJczGf\ mDimBj`LzOVzHOzAHz4Bz7CzACzCCzFCzHDzKDzMDzPDvREsUE\ sWEsZEs`EocFkeFggFdiG`kGXnGUpHQrHMtHJvHKuzLtzzsKMr\ zNqzzpMzzzzzzzzzzzPzzQzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzWuGVtLU\ sQTrUSqZRpcQohPnmOmrOlvRjlThbVgUYeK_cAab1Za4W`6T`9\ Q_BN_EKZGHZJEYLBYO8XQ6XS5WQ5WO5VN5VL5UK5UI5TH5TF5S\ E5SC5SBBVFGYIL`LQcPVfS_iVdkYemVfnSfpPgqMhsJhtGWrSJ\ qbPr`UrZZrXcsVhsTmsRSSI709GB8PK7XT6zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzUczTczSczQczPczOc\ zNczLczKczJczIczGczFczEczDczEczFzzGzzGzzHzzIzzJzzJ\ zzNzzOzzOzzPzzPzzQzzQzzRzzRzzSzzSzzSzzTzzUzzUzzLzz\ DzzjzzgzzezzczzazzBzzCzzDzzDzzEzzEzzEzzEzzFzzFzzFz\ zFzzGzzGzzGzzGzzHzzHzzHzz } 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 ;
