I've been playing around with writing my own computer program for making Fractal Images.
Since you made the effort to come here, then you can take a look at what I've been doing.

The images below are not a portfoilo but more of a display of the evolution of my program
as well as my own thinking as I went along..

This is what I call my short grey palette. In some places it gives a stark 3D shadowing effect.3

The images above were all created from the standard Mandelbrot equation.
This image was created when I modified the initial Zr value for the start of each interation set
from 0 to 0.3 with the coloring based on breakout value.
11
This image is the same view as the one above
but with the coloring based on angle of the breakout value and a different color palette.
12
This is a zoom in on the middle of the above image.13
This is the same as the ones above using angle coloring with my short grey palette.
14
This is the same view as the second image at the top using angle coloring and my short grey palette.
15
The next 7 images are all the same full Mandelbrot image as shown in the first image.
Each is rendered using breakout angle with different palettes.

This was my first attempt to make a Kaleidoscope effect using the image above and folding it on itself to make 4 mirrow images.
23
These last three are hot off the press.
I made these yesterday when I used the breakout and the breakout-1 Zr and Zi values to calculate the angle. 24
These are zoom in's near the center upper left of the image above.25

This is a zoom in on the center of the image above. Notice the very small dark dot in the center.
50
This is another zoom in on the center of the image above. Notice that dot again.
51
Notice the small purpleish star looking spot off center in the image above, this image is a zoom in on that spot.
All of this zooming is like a microscope. The deeper you look the more detail comes out.

Here it is full size

When I started looking at my fractals I found that I didn't like 'Black Holes" and figured there had to be something more inside. This image reveals what is inside the center of the images above. I believe this is the essence of the word Fractal. If you take the first image, the original Mendelbrot as being the size of 1 (or 100%). Then the central image here is 10 to the minus 14. In this image I used a palet with 3.6 Million possible colors.

Here is the same image in a totally different color palette.
