This is how I explore the mandelbrot set.

Heh it seems I am not the only poster from Holland. It's fun seeing someone else exploring the Mandelbrot, I think you're using Fractal eXtreme, too? What is your favourite color scheme to use?

[Dinkydau]

Yes, this is Fractal extreme. My favorite color scheme changes often, but I like dark and low-saturation colors most. Probably that's because there aren't many bright colors in nature either.

I guess you are using a desktop machine.  I use a laptop but it's simply not as fast as yours when exploring with Fractal eXtreme.

What's the spec of the machine?
