I recently had all my print photos from old trips scanned, and then tackled the (rather large) task of editing them all. Most are not that great; they are, by their nature, the pictures I took when I was a less experienced photographer, with predictably mediocre results. But it’s a little fascinating to watch my skill develop as I learned, by trial and error, the basic rules of composition.

This is one of my better efforts, and an early example of my tendency to try and get symmetrical shots of large architectural features. It is, of course, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
