...alternative title "Some random playing around in Apophysis to find out what it does..."
Yes, it's my first ever fractal image!
I downloaded Apophysis yesterday, skimmed through Claire Jones' free 'Apohysis Guide V2.1' ( http://clairejones.deviantart.com/art/Apophysis-Guide-v-2-1-34031367 ) and started playing.
I created many curious, interesting, and bizarre images to start with (none of which looked anything like the amazing fractal art I've seen - but no surprise there! The alien cobwebs and bamboo spirits were my favourites!) before I chanced upon the main image posted here - this was the first one that I recognised as being 'fractal'. Nothing special.
But I was most surprised by the number of times while tweaking the triangles I came up with images that looked like nebulae.
I'm constantly amazed how everything I do tends to intertwine. My interest in fractals is related to texturing for Poser/DAZ Studio models I'm working on, but my first attempts with Apophysis immediately connect back to the outer space environment sets for my Poser DAZ/Studio WorldBall.
Regarding Apophysis - it's so darn easy to use once you know how that I've wriiten a 7-step "Using Apophysis Without A Clue What You're Doing" guide here on ShareCG...

I've even done a very, very short micro-tutorial here on ShareCG to help get you started!
