[Fractint] FOTD 15-08-08 (Little Critters [8])

14 Aug 2008

      FOTD -- August 15, 2008 (Rating 8)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

In today's fractal I divided Z^2 by (Z^(0.000001)+5), or some-
thing like that, and then added C.  At least, that's what I 
think happened when I entered the parameters.  But regardless of 
what actually happened, the resulting parent fractal resembles 
an oversized Mandelbrot set, though deep inside it is different.

I found today's scene on the edge of the infinitely divided main 
spike, in the area just east of the large minibrot.  This is 
quite a rich area, filled with surprises, an area which until 
now I have largely ignored.

I named the image "Little Critters" when I noticed the dark 
insect-like things sitting on the webs surrounding the central 
minibrot.  Then I rated the image at an 8, which includes a 
small reward for my coloring.

The brief calculation time of 1-1/3 minutes will make everyone 
but the most impatient fractalist happy.  And even those 
impatient few will be only slightly discombobulated.  To avoid 
all possibility of discombobulation however, the finished image 
may be accessed on the FOTD web site at:

Too many clouds and a threat of rain kept Thursday from being 
perfect here at Fractal Central.  But the temperature of 82F 28C 
was quite pleasant and the rain held off until nightfall, so the 
fractal cats had nothing to complain about.

I had nothing to complain about either.  So I'm not complaining. 
The next Fractal of the Day will be posted in 24 hours.  Until 
then, take care, float like a duck and sting like a flea.
