FOTD -- April 22, 2008 (No Rating)
Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
Yesterday's FOTD took us deep into Scepter Valley, the next
valley beyond Seahorse Valley of the Mandelbrot set. Today's
image takes us deep into the third valley out the negative
X-axis, located around -1.368. I think this valley is named
Double Scepter Valley.
Unlimited intricate detail characterizes the scene. In fact,
there is actually so much small detail that it becomes overwhelm-
ing. Some of this excess detail is due to rendering the image
with the 'outside' set to 'summ', which works best with this
difficult-to-color fractal.
Due to the unusually large maxiter of over 3-million, all
variations of the logmap coloring method spread the bands much
too wide, resulting in large areas of a single flat color. And
shutting off the logmap gives an image of near total chaos. The
'summ' option is far from perfect, but it is about as good as
can be done with this image. The 'real' and 'imag' options work
almost exactly the same
I named the image "Deep Three" because it lies deep in the third
valley out the negative X-axis. I declined to give it a rating
because I feel that if I had really worked on the raw image, I
could have done notably better.
But I have good news! The calculation time is a sizzling 1/100
of one second under 3 minutes. And even better news is that the
finished image is posted for instant gratification on the FOTD
web site at:

Partly cloudy and mild conditions prevailed here at Fractal
Central on Monday. A high temperature of 70F 21C was very close
to normal. The fractal cats enjoyed the sun while it was out,
and chased each other around F.C. when it was not.
In my department, the work was finished on schedule, leaving the
remainder of the afternoon free for a fractal search. The next
FOTD will appear in 24 hours. Until then, take care, and be a
big-time thinker.
