RE: In Farmers We Trust. My tribute to the people who feed us. (5 of 7)
your photography is stunning. I am sure you posted this before, but I have overlooked it, can you tell about your camera gear?

Thanks @gringalicious (great name, btw)... I haven't really spoken about gear much because my personal opinion is that gear isn't a big part of the equation for me. (I guess that's because I have so many cameras and so much gear! :) These farmers market portraits were made with a Nikon D700 I used to have, along with one Nikon SB900 battery operated flash pushing through a cheap little portable shoot-through umbrella. For portraits now (including the chef images in this series), I use a D800 or D4 (and usually 2-3 Paul C. Buff Einstein strobes), but actually you could make these kinds of images with any camera that has a full-frame sensor. The size of the sensor is what gives them their specific quality.... providing for a little more depth/focus separation than a crop sensor would give you. Re gear for video, that's a whole other much more complicated story, and maybe sometime it would be fun to get into that. Thanks!
Thank you for the compliment on the name. And, more importantly, thank you for taking the time to reply at such length. Hasta Pronto!
