Hi! I have spent a while trying to see everything and enjoying everyone else's work. I'm impressed! Particularly by the quality of the work and that there are so many other fractal lovers out there. Based on what you have discussed here, I obtained Apophysis and an evaluation copy of Ultra Fractal. I am still floundering with both but fascinated. All I had worked with recently were Sterling and Fractal Explorer. I'm new to computer graphics in general so I would really appreciate any tips, comments, or suggestions, and recommendations for good tutorials.
