No, not that sort of model George! Got a couple of new Mini models through the post today so, thought I'd have a play around with the camera.
I used to take model shots by simply using the macro on my compact but, read on a model forum about zooming in to get a full frame shot. I set the DSLR up on its tripod with a 300mm lens and started adjusting the apature with each shot until I got some reasonable results. To be honest, I think the 300mm lens was a bit over the top and I'll have a go with a smaller lens next time.
Anyway here's some of the best shots, bear in mind that I am a complete novice
