Some people are just naturally obliging when a camera and lens are pointed at them. This gentleman has obliviously had a lot of experience with the public taking photos of him, due to his work place at Ross Farm. He seems to be photogenic, as well, it wasn't hard to get these images.
The myth is you need a medium telephoto to shoot portraits, that can work well, but I prefer to show the surroundings of the subject. My trusty Nikon AF-S 70-300mm VR allows me to vary how much detail I need in the backgrounds, and has decent bokeh to boot. Of course, a touch of fill-flash can help and the SB-600 did an admirable job. (it's my throw-in-the-camera bag flash when I don't think I'll need one but am happy to have it!)
The beauty of Nikon's flash system is the images looks so natural, but you can easily see the extra quality and depth to the images when the Speedlight is properly used.
