[Fractint] FOTD 04-02-13 (Epsilon Afire [7.5])

4 Feb 2013

      FOTD -- February 04, 2013 (Rating 7.5)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

Let the banners wave, the trumpets blare and the fireworks 
explode!  I'm back with another semi-glorious fractal, this one 
located in one of the several East Valleys of the 'Zexpe' 
fractal as it appears 10 levels down the hyperladder with no 
function applied.

The image rates a mildly impressive 7-1/2, but a good part of 
this is due to the coloring, on which I spent over 1/2 hour.  
Without the fiery color scheme, the image would be just another 
chaotic fractal.

The name "Epsilon Afire" refers to both the exponent of Z and 
the fiery colors of the image.  The calculation time of four 
minutes is about average, but the trip to one or all of the web 
sites is still worth the minor effort.

Check the finished image on the FOTD web site at:

And thrill to the glories of the high-definition renderings at:

though I'm not sure Hal is caught up quite yet.

Typical midwinter cold continued here at Fractal Central today, 
with partly cloudy skies and a temperature of 30F -1C.  The 
forecast is for another dusting of snow tonight, which will be 
about the fourth dusting in the past week.  The fractal cat took 
a few glances out the window, but spent most of the afternoon 
sleeping on his blanket on top of the tall bookcase.  The humans 
had an everyday afternoon.

The next FOTD will be posted when things are right, the most 
favorable time being tomorrow around this same time.  Until 
whenever, take care, and Hooray!  Our team held on to win the 
Stuporbowl!
