Its main period-2 bud is quite ; large, while its East Valley is shrunken. A large blob ; surrounded by fields of smaller blobs lies just beyond the east ; valley. The image for today lies in one of these debris fields. ; ; I named the image "Blobs in the Night", mostly because of the ; rather somber color scheme, which despite its brilliant ; highlights, still creates an impression of night. I almost ; named it something like 'Bursting Bubbles', but decided not to ; when I found no bubbles that are actually bursting. ; ; The rating of a 7 is adequate, but if I had put more effort into ; the colors, I might have raised it to an 8. ; ; The 45-second calculation time will cause no distress. This ; time is an estimate of the time the image would take to finish ; on the 2000mhz machine. It took 2-1/2 minutes on the 200mhz ; unit. ; ; The official FOTD web site, still under construction, may be ; accessed at: ; ; ; ; The FOTD images are posted in high definition and sometimes ; anti-aliased at: ; ; ; ; The original FOTD web site, now classic, may be found at: ; ; ; ; A few too many clouds and a few drops of rain spoiled the day ; here at Fractal Central. The temperature of 59F 15C was a bit ; chilly for total comfort, but near average for the season. The ; fractal cats spent the day on watch for an orange lop-eared ; tomcat that has recently appeared in the area and is showing ; signs of hanging around a while. ; ; The humans spent the day doing what needed to be done, which ; kept us busy but would be very boring to report in detail. The ; next FOTD will be posted in 24 hours. Until then, take care, ; and if the hardships of life are a learning experience as the ; local armchair philosopher says, when will we make use of the ; material world skills that we have struggled so hard to learn? ; ; ; Jim Muth ; jamth@mindspring.com ; ; ; START PARAMETER FILE======================================= Blobs_in_the_Night { ; time=0:00:45.00 SF5 at 2000MHZ reset=2004 type=formula formulafile=allinone.frm formulaname=MandAutoCritInZ function=ident float=y center-mag=-0.056705950601755/-0.340265933261999/\ 5.804852e+007/1/155/0 params=1/-5.5/-1/1.1/0/0/0/0 maxiter=700 inside=0 logmap=72 periodicity=6 colors=00000AALKK`UWjfcqzmzzhthbq`XnUVjXUg_TdaSbdP\ bdLbeHceHccHbaH`_HYXGSUFLREEND7IC1HD9GDHFDOEDWVDba\ DjgDqzAiq8aM5UR3MV4LU4LU5LU5KU6KU6KU7KU7JU8JU8JU8J\ U8`1Ca6FaAJbEMbIPcMTcQWdUZdYRZRJTLBNF3I94ID4II5IM5\ IQ7GN9EKACICAFD8DT8ah8yeBobDf`FYYIPVKGTM7WSEYXL`aS\ bfZekegplagiX_gRSdMJbGB_B3Y97X8AW7EW5HV4LV3OU2RU5d\ e8qqKr_WsIfs1jn2mj2pe2sa2gf7XkBLpFAtJIkGPcDXWAcO7k\ G4r82dJASTHFbO2lV3dN3XG3P83H1GLHSOWdRkpUzkYsgalcdf\ _h_VlTRoNNsGJvARq9Ym8di7ke6faDbZKZVRVSXQPcMLjIIqEF\ wJDpOCiTAcY9Xb8Qg6Kl5Dp47oHAoUDnfGnsJorJorJpqJpqJq\ pJqpJhiG_bDchEgnFktGnyG`qbNjxJayFUymMzmEzm6zmHnmSc\ maTmlIzv7zkGzaOzSXzIdz8lzEnzKozQqzWrzaszguzmvzswzl\ qzfkz`ezV_zPUzJOzDJzGNzIRzLVzNZzQbzSfzUgzWhzYizZjz\ `kzblzdmzemzcezbZzaRz`Kz_DzRKzJQzBWzFXzIXzLYzOYzRY\ zUZzXZz_ZzUTzPNzKHzFBzA5z50zCIzJ_zPpzYtzfwzWvzLuzB\ uzGrzLozQmzVjz_gzdeVibzn` } 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 ;
