Title: Hello
Post by: Laojim on May 17, 2015, 08:31:38 PM
I am just outside Phoenix, AZ USA
I have been fascinated with fractals in general since I could run Fractint on my NEC Multispeed, leaving it running overnight to draw something or other.  It seems a shame that the program has died out because if you can get it to run under a DOS emulator it will still do things that no other program will do, but so it goes.  I often tried to get high school art students interested in the fractal images, but they tended to be put off by the complications of doing such things.   Retired now, I have all the time I want to make pretty pictures until my wife gets the idea I should do something else. 
I have a large number of images at https://www.flickr.com/gp/24489820@N02/50351D some of which are a bit derivative but many are, I think, rather good.  Feel free to send along any comments.

Welcome Laojim. You certainly mastered the 3D fractals aswell ... you really miss Fractint?

Most of your images are in the Mainstream Fractal Style, which means oversaturated and a bit psychedelic. While almost all are good quality images, I tend to like the more simple ones like:
tranparent corridor
crystal tree
Tree
undergrowth 2 (ok, you perhaps want to polish photoshop skills a little)
needle pit
trackside shrine
tunnel 3 b
room wigh transparent walls
wnere ideas come from
octapus garden 2 (nevermind. This one worked out perfect! And saturation sometimes works great)

Hope to see more of your work!  :beer:
