Such a beautiful and playful Julia set.

Vibrant colouration! My goals included having a bright green+pink and a significant colour difference in the top/bottom split. I am rather pleased with the results.

Self-similar traits appear quickly. It is like finding beauty in wheat field by looking at the stalks.

Square spiral.

And from the now long-past discussion about connectivity, notice how quickly this pattern isolates a region.

For Valentine's Day
Our love is like this fractal
Rosy on the outside
Like stars from a distance
And completely disjoint.

That one is interestingly unique. Did you do something special to capture it?

No-- but sort of-- I nearly always pick Julia points somewhat close to the trapped/escaped border. But that one was from much farther out.
It is much harder to work with the colour sets and the highly disjointed areas of activity typically don't make interesting compositions. I was determined to make that one work even if it does resort to using cyan.
Cyan plays well with other colours while adding contrast. It is easy to overuse.

This one had the same idea:

Sea star on the sea shore. Still my favorite style.

I was particularly happy with feeling of water and a sandy beach came through.


It lacks a theme to hold it together.

After looking at Julia sets deep in escaping territory, I figured I should look at some clearly bound sets.


Dancing in the dark

Still has a dancing-feel to it. Just icy.

Faux Mandelbrot.

That's interesting. Having seen so many Mandelbrot's, I can see the slight un-roundedness on the edges.

[The Potter]

Because of all the self-similar aspects of Julia and Mandelbrot sets, one might expect to see such patterns frequently. But that is about the most similar I have found. I didn't search nearby Julia points in an attempt to make it appear more round.
The lumpy roundness reminds me of hand built pottery that attempts to be round. Side note: if you ever do hand build pottery never try to make it round.


Hourglass time doesn't escape this one!

I really like your labels for these. That and the fact that you put thought into the color scheme make it feel more artistic than just punching up a fractal and dumping color onto it.

You sure you won't make a coffee table book? I just looked on Amazon, and there's nothing like it. There are a couple of calendars, but the fractals are highly computerized, 3-D images. Boring.

I am starting to consider doing something with them. The quality of the last 150 is generally much higher than the first 300. I guess I at or near the number of required images for a book. Hmmm

I should find the area the looks like this but with five points.

I have decided to get a canvas size A1 print.

The render time is ~11 hours for the vibrant Julia fractal that starts this page. But it is 9930x7020 pixels. The final jpeg should be ~15mb if anyone wants a copy. I think such sizes can be emailed but the limit may be 10mb.


Porcupine Quills Ouch!

It amazes me that I can continue to find completely new patterns. The 84th Julia image since the re-start:

This next series focuses on using a near-black colour. It helps create contrast and allows bright colours to really shine.

But the faithful GL visitors still view my fractals.

I just love the double spirals. Maybe someday I will find triple spirals (but I doubt it)
