[Fractint] FOTD 21-01-05 (Hip-Hopping Figure [7])

21 Jan 2005

      FOTD -- January 21, 2005 (Rating 7)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is an outzoom of the 'Golden Rectangle' image of 
January 18, which is a scene in a Julia set of the formula 
Z^(2.003)+C.  I even went so far as to reuse the color palette 
from that image.  The original rectangle is still intact, quite 
visible at the point where the arms branch off from the main 
figure.  This fractal area and color palette also appeared in 
the 'Mainline Railroad' image of January 19, where we examined 
the Mandelbrot aspect of the scene.

I named today's image "Hip-Hopping Figure".  This does not imply 
that I enjoy the so-called 'music' which goes by that name.  In 
fact I would never listen to it.  The name was chosen because 
the central figure resembles a person caught up in a wild 
twisting dance.

The image has a lively, joyous feeling to it, which earns a 
rating of 7.  When the rating is adjusted for the render time of 
just under 2 minutes, the overall worth equals an impressive 
377.  All this rating stuff can be bypassed by downloading the 
completed GIF image from the FOTD web site at:

I might devote the month of February to exploration of this 
particular area of the Z^(2.003)+C Julibrot.  We'll see how it 
goes.

A bit more of the promised philosophical pondering is included 
in the philofractal version of this FOTD.

A cloudy cold (34F 1C) day on Thursday here at Fractal Central 
kept the fractal cats outdoor time limited to two brief trips to 
the holly thicket, where the birds were finishing off the last 
of the holly berries.  Both times when I called them, they came 
without hesitation.  Their evening was uneventful.  This morning 
is starting bright and sunny but, at a temperature of 14F -10C, 
it is quite cold.  It will not be the best of days for the 
dynamic duo.

For me the work is about average, which means anywhere from 
three to eight hours, depending on how efficient I am.  Then 
it's back to the world of fractals.  Until next FOTD, take care, 
and be lively.
