Today's image ; shows a minibrot many orders of magnitude smaller and even ; closer to the cut-off point. In fact, the minibrot is well out ; of sight. Only the outer fringes of its surrounding pattern are ; visible. I chose a 'reset' point to add variety. ; ; I could rate the image no higher than a 7-1/2. These very deep ; images are starting to develop a boring similarity, and a new ; approach must be found to keep the ratings high. ; ; I did put a bit of extra effort into the coloring, though the ; image has such an over-abundance of fine detail that no coloring ; would be totally satisfactory. ; ; The calculation time of 1-1/5 hours is quite slow, especially ; for an image that rates a mere 7-1/2. Thank goodness for the ; web sites. ; ; The finished image is posted at: ; ; ; ; The high definition version is at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site may be accessed at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD for September 11 is admittedly late, because this FOTD ; is, or was, it. But I cured the lateness by renaming the FOTD ; for the 11th, the FOTD for the 12th. The delay was caused by ; the 120-pound, 55kg, front door of FC, which jammed shut due to ; the dampness, and needed work. At latest report, the door was ; looser, but still quite sticky. ; ; Morning clouds gave way to afternoon sun and a temperature of ; 73F 23C here at Fractal Central on Sunday. The scene was ; repeated on Monday, much to the pleasure of the fractal cats. ; The humans found enough things to do to keep them busy on both ; Sunday and Monday. ; ; The next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. At least it is ; scheduled to be posted. Check back then to see if it actually ; appears. Until whenever, take care, and is it true that ; fractals will dissolve in water but not in carbon-tetrachloride? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jimmuth@earthlink.net ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Circus_Time { ; time=1:12:30.15-SF5 on P4-2000 reset=2004 type=mandel passes=1 float=y bailout=2 center-mag=-1.414213559000246436257000092131178840\ 044418020153333969/0/3.311132e+050 params=0/0 maxiter=32767 symmetry=xaxis periodicity=6 colors=000KitGmuCqu8uw4ywAtpEnjJjcNeZS_SXXNaRGgPCe\ NBbLB00A00A00B00C00E00F00G00H00J00K00L00N00O00P00R\ 20R20R20S20V20V20V20V20V20W20Y20Y20Z20_20`20a20a20\ b20b30c40c60e70e80gA0gB2iCBjEFlFKjGPiHUjJZmWamYdmX\ gmcjmgnmmommpmmrmmtmmxmpzmuzTzzezzszzzzzszzezzXxzS\ uxOsuNptLmsKjpJgnHemGbjF_iE_gC_eBZcAZb8Z_7ZZ6XS0YV\ 2ZY6__A_bEacHbfLbiPclTemYepafseguiiyngwlguigsggqef\ nbfmaflZfiXegVeeSecPeaOc_LcZKcXHcVFbSEbRBbO8bN7aL4\ aJ2aH0aF0_E0_B0_A0_80ZB0YE0XF0VF0TF3SL6RS8PZBOeENl\ GLpJKtLJxNPzPUzSXzZ_zcbzhezlbyh_xcXv_UuVRsTOqSLpRI\ nPFmODlNBjLBiNBgLBfKBeJBcHBbGBaFB_EBYCBVBBS8BP7BN7\ BK6BH7BF7BE7BB8BA8A76B88BAABACBBEBBFBCHBEJBEKBFNBF\ OBGRBHSBHTCJXCJYCKZCLaCLbCNeCNfCOgCPjCPlCRmCRpCSqA\ TuCSsESqGRpHRmKPlLPjOOiPOfSNeTNcXLbYL__KZaKYcJVeJT\ gHSiHRlGOmGNpFLtFKyEHzEGzCFzCAzB6yCExCLwCSuE_tEgxA\ msEnnHpjLpfPqaTqYYsTasPet } ; END PARAMETER FILE========================================= ; ; ; ; _______________________________________________ ; Fractint mailing list ; Fractint@mailman.xmission.com ; http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fractint ;
