[Fractint] FOTD 09-03-14 (Down in the Dumps [A-8,M-5])

      FOTD -- March 09, 2014 (Rating A-8,M-5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is named "Down in the Dumps".  The name does not 
refer to a duck fight at the city dump, it indicates the mood of 
the image.  I have rarely seen such a depressed looking minibrot 
sitting so sorrowfully in the middle of such a depressed color 
scheme.

The parent fractal came about when I iterated the expression 
Z^(1.3)+C at a level of 11 steps up the complex-logarithmic 
hyperladder.  This parent is shaped much like the minibrot in 
today's image, though it is standing on its downcast head.  
Today's scene is located in a field of debris surrounding the 
period-5 bud on the northeast shore line of the main bay of the 
parent.

Because of the overwhelming gloominess in the image, a good part 
of which was created by the colors, I have rated the art aspect 
at a cheerful 8.  The math aspect is worth an average 5, since 
these multi-valued log images are nothing new.

The calculation time of 1-2/3 minutes might seem to go slowly at 
the start, but once the image's gloominess becomes apparent, it 
will slow down markedly.

Those who find no enjoyment in the gloom of setting up and 
running parameter files may view the finished image at:

The official FOTD web site is still behind, but will be caught 
up in a matter of a few days.

Except for the slightly lower temperature of 45F +6C, today, 
with its near total sun, was a repeat of yesterday.  The 11-year-
old fractal cat enjoyed the sun on the window shelf for the 
entire afternoon, while the 6-1/2-month-old fractal kitten 
remained confined to her private room until she recovers from 
her recent talk with the doctor about the facts of life.  The 
fractal humans passed the day being human.

The next FOTD will be posted in the very foreseeable future.  
Until then, take care, and it's really hard to maintain a 
totally depressed outlook on things.
