FOTD -- June 18, 2003 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Today's image is another scene in the East Valley area of the
parent fractal of yesterday's image. Many of the same elements
are there, but with the outside being rendered with the 'fmod'
option, today's image is different enough to stand on its own
merits.

Today's rating of 6 is a big come-down from yesterday's perhaps-
overblown rating of 9. It is still worth a look however. The
colors, which are not nearly as finely tuned, still get the
point across.

When I studied the image, searching for a name, I had the
impression of a Mandelbrot set being dropped into a body of
colored liquid, creating a huge splash. What could I possibly
have named the image other than "Ker-splash"?

Curiously, if the bailout radius of today's image is raised to
10^100, the image evaporates, leaving a blank screen of all-
inside points. Then, if the 'fmod' inside-fill option is
applied to the blank image and the proximity is kept at 0.9,
today's image will re-appear, the only difference being that
instead of rendering in 13 minutes, it now takes an hour to
render, and the inside of the midget now contains detail.

The fastest way to observe today's inside-or-outside image is to
download it in completed form from either Paul's web site at:

or from Scott's web site at:

Clouds hung around all day Tuesday. The sprinkles that began at
1pm turned into a steady rain by 6pm. The temperature reached
66F 19C, but what good is a pleasant temperature when rain is
falling? The dynamic duo thought it was no good at all, and
quickly turned sulky, demanding a treat of tuna before resuming
their good spirits. Since this morning is cloudy with more rain
promised, I had best stock up on the tuna.

The heavy clouds do not relieve me of the duty of doing the
waiting work however, so if I hope to finish, I had best get
started. Until next FOTD, take care, and watch for lurking
fractals.
