Like the photo as it shows great detail and focus, but it needs to be lightened up some, my opinion only.😀

Location
This was take in the city centre of Bristol, down by the river. There are a lot of homeless people that live down there.Time
It was take about 1 hour after sun rise. I went down by the river to take the sunrise and I hen I got chatting to this gentlemanLighting
The light was very strong even though it was only one hour after sun rise.Equipment
D750 and D7100 I was using Tameron 10-24 mm lensInspiration
I started to chat to this man. He was in the army many years ago and was suffering from PTSD, I found him very interesting, he was telling me his life story. It was how remarkable that our life’s were so similar I to am an X army man I have PTSD along with other stuff that u can talk about. The only difference is that he is homeless. I was luck that the British legions helped me out to find some ware to live. He stopped through the cracks. I asked if I could take his photo and he said yes after I took 12 or so photos we sat and had a coffee and I got him a bacon butty.Editing
I did some basic edits in light room a curve layer in photoshop and converted to B&W. I used Topaz clarity to add a filter to give the photo the look it has nowIn my camera bag
Two cameras always a back up, D750 and D710. Tameron 10-24 mm Lens. Nikon 70-300 2.8f Lens, Nikon 18-105 Lens, Nikon 50mm prime, Tameron 99mm macro lens. Nikon 910 soeedlight. Cleaning stuff 3 or 4 spare batteries and 3 or 4 spares as cards. Cable releases and tripod.Feedback
Talk to people do not be afraid to ask. I would never take any ones photo with out asking. A lot of the homeless people are really nice and love to talk to someone
