| I think so, but don't understand them well enough to be sure. But if you mean liking patterns like those found in trees and clouds and all manner of other objects, then I do for sure .... |

like a snow flake, like a tree branch, like a cactus (simple fractal) |

I've heard of it but I had to look up a definition. Does anyone have images that they have taken that would serve as examples? Would this be considered fractals?

I think that's a different sort of pattern, similar to that of composite flowers (like daisies or sunflowers) and related to the Fibonacci Series (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...).
Here is an example I remember seeing posted here before. |

| As implied by GeneralE, there are many example of fractals all around us. It would be a fun challenge topic--unless it ended up like Black on Black with so many photographers so confused (including me!). |

I'd say I like fractals when they're done nicely. They're a realtively "easy" subject to photograph (like sunsets), so it sometimes requires some extra effort to produce a unique shot involving them.
I've got two shots featuring them in my portfolio.

Hmmmm. Does anyone use the _Genuine Fractals_ program? I was at a seminar and heard it was invaluable for super-enlarging digital images. How's it working for DPC folks?

Yes.. I use it often. For upsizing digital images, it is best known software. Photoshop interpolation upto 200% is decent. If you want to blow your images above that, Genuine fractals is best so far. They claim that you can blow an image upto 600% without problems but I am more comfortable with size increments upto 400%.
You can download the trial version that would allow you 20 saves. It writes files in STN format and becomes a plugin for photoshop.

hope this helps...

I also use Genuine Fractals and can recommend it too. It has delivered results for me that would otherwise not have been possible.
My normal photography is to capture installations shots of antennas way up high on free standing or guyed towers - often 300m, 500m and even beyond 1000m above average terrain. So, very long lenses are used and excessive cropping is required to achieve the desired documentation results.
At other times, I shoot the line-of-sight for a microwave path from one tower to another, sometimes covering 5, 10, 20 or more kilometres. The results are very important to a successful design and implementation of a transmission link. Genuine Fractals permit me to see where I might otherwise not be able to see. Very cool software.

This is from the "Stock Photography" challenge. I was not thinking "fractal" at the time.
