Homeless man playing guitar to feed himself and his pets, under the rain during late autumn in Sydney, Australia. It's amazing what some people will do for their closest friends or family, even under these circumstances.

A terribly sad capture!

I love this! Not much people will post photos like this. You totally capture how these people feel.

Thank you so much!

Out of all the entry's and eventual winners this one has touched me the most. So sad, and to think this is in Sydney. Sad that our country has come to this.

Thank you Beverley. It's sad that homeless exists anywhere.

Powerful image!

Wonderfully captured, intensely moving photo.

Every photo I have ever taken is irrelevant when you see stuff like this.

Appreciate it!

A very moving photo - a sign of the times.

Thanks

This is a very sad commentary on the world's homeless. I hope that some day we will be able to solve this terrible tragedy.

Behind The Lens

Location

Just outside Central Station in Sydney, NSW.

Time

It was around 4PM when the rain started to settle a little.

Lighting

It was a good time of day but, there quite a few shadows from the tree above so I had to find the right angle first.

Equipment

I used a Canon 6D with a 24-70mm F.4 lens.

Inspiration

It was very moving for me. Seeing this man play his guitar under the rain with his companions by his side, one huddled next to him for warmth. His note read that it was just for the dogs and himself. It's incredible what a person will do to take care of the ones they love. It was heartbreaking, yet beautiful.

Editing

Yes, I simply saturated the color and played with the level until I got the B&W effect I was happy with.

In my camera bag

Canon 6D, 24-70mm F4.0, 50mm F1.8 (Both with hoods), speed light, 2 x wireless transceivers, a sling strap, cleaning kit and a couple of SD cards.

Feedback

I always look for what seems to be interesting, especially when it's raining, you can find so many things that you may see everyday but take for granted. Pause and be mindful of your surroundings, take your time looking through your viewfinder seeing the subject at different angles. Look at what kind of lighting there is and just get creative with it!
