About the images, part VI

Posted by Mr. Mandelbrot in General, Images | No Comments

There are less general comments to make about the images every day, but there are some points still not mentioned yet.

Most of these images were made much before than the now common 16:9 format became the default size (I guess it’s the default now, at least for LCD screens, isn’t it?). UltraFractal’s default size when you just install it and opens the default image is a 400 x 300 px image (or was, at least), in the standard (and already old?) 4:3 format. It was the common size used for ages, with all these very known sizes like 320 x 240, 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768.

I was wondering why most of my Apophysis images weren’t in the galleries (mostly the newest), and noticed that some of the most recent ones weren’t included in my big fractal list of images. I’ll try to add them one at a time starting with the next gallery.

Do you make 50 images every day? How can you post so many images?

Not anymore. There was a time that I probably could do that, though.

If I post say 3 or 4 galleries with around 15 images each in the same day it’s just because these images I’m posting were already made, ready to be posted, some are even 10 years old or maybe more. I’m in sort of an updating phase more than a creation phase, I’m just sorting things out and cleaning the dust before I’m back to making new images.

These images aren’t all fresh creations, not all of them at least. In each gallery probably there will be one or 2 relatively newer images (not often though), but all these weren’t done at once right before I published the post.

Still experimenting…

This time with a new theme. Black or darker pages look good as a background for pictures but they are quite tiresome after a while if there is some text to be read. A few colours match with the black background so that they can be used as text colours, and a white or clearer layout is more “update” so to speak. And definitely black text over a white “page” is much easier to read than a white text on a black page.

Let me explain some of the weird image names you’ll see here and some other naming techniques I might be using.

How hard is it to name an image? Very, at times. Let’s say you have a daughter. Why did you name it “Moon Unit” instead of the plain old “Mary”? Weird isn’t it? Well… probably mr. Frank Zappa had a good reason for that (yes that’s the real name of one of his kids). If you have a daughter and if you are a big Zappa fan, you might name your daughter like that too – and it will make perfect sense for you.

When I name some image, I try to name it according to what I’m feeling at the moment (sounds cliché, but it’s for real), some situation that happened while making the image (or previously), a song I’m listening to, etc. and even some obvious name if the image looks like something from the “real world”. Some of these names probably will only make sense to me. That’s not the point, I don’t have to name it using some more common name “just because”.
