Great work. I chose this photo to win my Street Photography photo challenge. The subject and scene are interesting and well shot, and it has a nice B&W treatment with a range of tones, but a boldness in the blacks that I like quite a bit. Congrats, and keep documenting your world!

Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken outside the bus stop I have taken buses from for good 4 years. All these years I have noticed the chaos building here, and for the first time I found this man just standing there in silence.Time
It was right after Sunset.Lighting
Golden Hour is a blessing, not just for colored pictures, but for monochrome shots as well, the light is so soft so good for any kind of picture.Equipment
I used a Canon 1200D with a basic Kit Lens. Perfect example of how gear does not matter, even the most basic machines can give out a very interesting output.Inspiration
I have been crossing this road, passing these pathways for years, I have lived here for more than 10 years and have boarded buses from this very place for 4 years. I have always seen chaos building up here and this time I noticed that there is this man, with almost no distractions around, is just standing there chilling with his smoke. I could not resist but document this moment.Editing
I adjust the exposure and contrast a little to darken the blacksIn my camera bag
I now carry two camera bodies, one zoom lens, one wide angle lens and two prime lensesFeedback
Stay attentive and don't hesitate. Street photography is about the combo of being alert and being fearless. You might find the most interesting subject in the most boring places.
