Fractal visionaries:

I've been trying lately to see what kind of pictures I can find in the inside of various fractals, using Fractint's several options for inside fill.  So far, I've had no great success, but today's fractal shows some promise.

It's a quick (5 minute) fractal created entirely in the area of trapped points.  If the formula is run with the inside fill set to 0, the result is a blank screen.  So be sure to set the fill to bof60 or bof61 when you work with the formula.

If the maxiter and periodicity are changed, it will change the image almost as much as will the three functions.  As always, the finished image has been posted to ABPF.

What I really need to do is find a way of creating more bands in this type of fractal.  In today's picture for example, there are so few bands that smooth coloring is impossible.
