Description
Into each second's whirlpool twist so many possibilities,Unlived.
And each second has its subdivisions,
Tiny fractal gearwheels marking their own turn.
And each in turn has its own chronometer,
The wheels turning faster,
And so on...
To when existence winks itself out.
2006's final offering, first of a pair straddling the New Year. May you see out the year in style
Apophysis + GIMP.

Hey
That work is just fantastic... AMAZING!
One thing... IMO the title is too big. The font is allright, but it's just too eye-catching 
But fractal is GREAT

Thank you indeed! I'm still cool with the size of the title, although I tend not to include them these days

wow I can't believe this is a fractal, excellent work!

Had me Googling these references, but I got there in the end - very appropriate description

Yes! You've hit the nail on the head and driven it home

This is an awesome black and white. It's like a close-up on a time machine.

Indeed! Something about this kind of Julia/N, the hint of gearwheels, always suggests time

I could live with an image on my wall suggesting time very well but I can't stand wall clocks that let you hear how time goes by.

I love that idea. Tick-tock: the sound of time. Gotta make that a title for a future work

As long it is only a title without sound attached ...

Indeed! I wonder how long it'll be before dA accepts works with attached sound, like MySpace pages...

I hope not before they have servers that can handle the additional volume

Too true! Sometimes it limps and lurches like an old drunk

WOW! What a brilliant piece of work! The description is simply perfect. I gotta fav it!

This infinite workings of a time-piece looks great in monochrome. A good sense of depth too as the furthest away gears fade into the distance.

Ok I love this one Ian!! Anything special I could learn from you on this parameter?? Definite

Well, it's a standard 'Grand JuliaN' (as ~ClaireJones 'Julia Uncovered' tutorial) with some tweaks to the first transform (you may have spotted 'blob' in there with blob_waves set to 5) then a randomised greyscale gradient tweaked to remove points of excessive brightness. I've yet to fully explore the possibilities of applying the FX to such fractals, let alone the new PX

I'll dig out that tut again Ian. Thanks for the pointers. I have no clue how to use the PX or what it's function is yet.

I'm not sure what it actually is (my guess from its name is that each transform may have a further transform operate on it, and it only) but I have written an interesting little script that exchanges coefficients between each transform and its corresponding post-transform. Works best on completed parameters and often seems to have the effect of turning the image inside out. If you're interested, I wouldn't mind a second opinion

I think your right for the most part Ian. I'm just getting a start on it and I have noticed how it gives you more flexibility with individual triangles.

Love that you've left this gray scale or almost gray scale. By doing so all of the nice contrasts are really accentuated like in a black and white photo. Love the ambiance and composition as well. Well done!

You are most welcome. Awesome piece. Take care.

Cool gear-work ... the gradient is perfect for all that fine detail!
