Regarding the exposure, I'd say that's just inexperience in low-lighting situations. After all, an alley between two tall buildings isn't going to have ideal lighting.

Speaking off...those are some farking CLEAN alleys! Try taking that pic in virtually any large American city and there'd be trash and graffiti everywhere.

I like the locations you picked. You just need some more practice with the camera settings.
