Baby Jessica ~ Strawberry Shortcake Framed on Black

Baby-Doll

From the movie, "Sucker Punch." I expect I will be seeing a lot of ladies dressed up as the girls from this movie over the next few months. Overall, this is a really nice cosplay costume.

Tech stuff: slight Gaussian blur to smooth out her skin texture (legs and face/neck) as the bright sunlight really amplified any imperfection or blemish; Topaz Adjust (Strong Detail) to bring out the details and give the photo a hyper-realism feel; slight oval vignette to better frame Baby-Doll and draw the viewer's eyes into the center.

The 'Small Scale Experimental Machine'. On June 21, 1948, this was the first stored-program computer in the world to actually run a program. It now lives in the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester.

Well, strictly speaking, this wasn't it. This is a replica made in 1998, although apparantly there are quite a number of original parts in it. The frames were rescued from an allotment where they had become somebody's greenhouse.

Update: It actually lives in a more prominent position in the main MOSI building today.
