Fractals are graphic representations of mathematical equations.
Without the aid of a computer to generate the graphics from the
equations, these mathematical objects would remain invisible.
Traditionally flame fractals have always been particularly beautiful
because of their ethereal quality. But in recent times, with the
advent of many new marvellous scripts, new previously unimagined
forms are now available.
Many of my images are actually collages of individual flame fractals.
Most of these flames are made in Apophysis, though a few of the
earliest ones were made in the Gimp using it's flame plugin.
Therefore, all the elements that you see, for example, the trees,
plants, stars, etc. are flame fractals. These are opened in my
graphics programme and then arranged to make the final picture.
On a rare occassion I may sharpen a flame if it is warranted,
but I don't add any extra effects as I like their purity.
If you haven't come across flame fractals before, I hope this
is a serendipitous discovery for you.
