FOTD -- March 04, 2008 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

With fractal lady at only half productivity, things are still 
tight here at Fractal Central.  But in between the regular work, 
I still managed to sneak in a fractal or two.

Today's quickie fractal is a trip into the East Valley area of 
the parent fractal that results when the formula (-Z)^3.5+C is 
iterated.  The minibrot at the center of today's image is an 
exact replica of its parent, something that rarely happens in 
fractals with fractional exponents of Z.

The image is nothing unusual, but still worth the rating of a 6 
that I gave it.  The name "Quick Test" simply tells how fast I 
found the scene.  The calculation time of 1-1/4 minutes is fast 
enough to make running the included parameter file almost a 
pleasure.  And it's also a pleasure to see the image already 
calculated on the FOTD web site at:

       

Shirtsleeves were the norm here at Fractal Central on Monday as 
the sun shone brightly and the temperature reached 61F 16C.  The 
fractal cats shone brightly on their shelf in the sun.  The next 
FOTD is due to appear in 24 hours.  It will likely be ready on 
time.  Until then, take care, and we not only don't know the 
answers, we don't even know the questions.
