Thanks useful information: 0
I am lucky in that not more then 5min walk form my house is a set of ruins. The story is that it was being built my a gentleman for his ill wife. When she passed away he never finished the "castle". I snapped a couple of quick pictures the other day, but it was very late in the afternoon and the light was not great. Anyway can any body offer any suggestions or ideas for photos.

Personally I'd like to see more light contrast and long shadows.
I quite like the perspective of the last photo.
All the photos seem to be over exposed. the sky is washed out. Try metering off the sky rather than the walls of the house.

get back there before a storm front comes through, the darkness and the broody clouds would work well
Go there at night (if it is safe) for some long exposures, even with some torches to create some interesting effects.
get in close, photograph some of the details.

To add to Ricktas' suggestion take some coloured cellophane paper to put over the torches. Even some plain neutral colour to reduce the intensity of the light.
Ronbo is quiet correct about metering for the sky. The other underexposed areas can be corrected, if needs be, however, blow sky are gone forever.
I couldn't help but much around with one of these. Hope you don't mind

That #1 edit Brian did looks kind'a interesting
that darkness adds a sense of abandonment and makes it look spooky-ish!
