I have never taken a photography class, I take photos intuitively. I like to show you the world as I see it, through my eyes, as crooked and as out of focus they might be.

I first picked up a camera about 10 years ago. It was a low-end digital. I have never used film. Now I have a Canon Rebel DSLR and I am still figuring out how to use the different settings. I take tons of photos because it grounds me and I enjoy it.

I think this is the end of my doors series but may find another batch on another disc. Thank you, for letting me into your world for a few minutes and for looking at my photos.

With the exception of the first one, these were all taken in the past couple of weeks. Now that you have potentially looked at 250 of my doors before this batch, can you see any improvement or changes for the better? Or am I still taking the same misaligned, over-exposed photos? What do I need to pay attention to? What are my strengths and what needs improvement? Judging these 10 as my newest photos and the previous 250 as practice shots. A few of the previous posts had images taken within the past couple of weeks, do you know which ones they were?

The Alcatraz photos were taken 1 week ago. I used my Canon SX60 HS and my Rebel. I found the Rebel took much better photos when comparing the 2 side by side. The SX60 was horrible at white balance and added a blue hue to most of the photos, probably from the Bay and the sky.

I don't expect anyone to answer all these questions but I would like feedback along that vein. But feel free to offer any advice you think would be helpful.

I like Pictures 1 & 2 for their composition but the IQ could be a little better(sharper or contrast) and I would use some color saturation in a Photoshop program....many of your shots are just too busy...I am not a pro just giving an opinion...and Refreshing to see something other than a Bird or Flower...

I believe your first image here is the best of the lot.

I just enjoy your eclectic approach to things that are often overlooked or not appreciated. The mechanics can improve, but your vision is unique.

3 is the side door of a store, possibly the service entrance.
4 is a fortune teller's door

please explain too busy. I have been told that before but don't understand what it means.

Too many things going on in the pictures composition...

a door and maybe some stairs, maybe some trim or banister, how is that too busy? That's what I don't understand. Maybe you mean the door itself is too busy because I can not see how a door photo can be too busy.
