sorry I am not impressed... kind of generic and nothing grabs you about any photo... and the quality looks like a point and shoot... sorry

+1... I'm glad that your experience was interesting, because your photos are very dark, grainy, and don't really show anything from an interesting perspective.

they are just snaps.

no real points of interest in the photos or crisp focus.

In UE either photograph the trip as a document to record what the building was like at that time or use the building and its feature as your backdrop for a photographic trip.

My UE pictures are primarily for recording the buildings, but occasionaly has some artistic value.
UE and photography does overlap but be sure of what you want to achieve on a trip.

Either way the shots should still be crisp, were you using a tripod? considered long exposure with light painting to fill the dark areas.

No i wasn't using a tripod, it was my first time there and i did not know what the area was like so i wanted to travel light, i will be going there again soon with a tripod and hoping to achieve what everyone here has stated.

The pic that i thought was the best one was the second from last but obviously not :(

thanks for your time in commenting

Yeah, I think you'll see a big difference with a Tripod. Keep on trying and post more pics up!

Long exposure...make sure you have Mirror Lockup enabled and either use a remote release or use the timer. Keep it at ISO100. This should get you crisp images.

Also watch your lines. They are crooked and can be distracting. If you frame a little loosely, you'd be able to fix that in PP however.

Try some shots from more extreme perspective to give the images more dimensionality.

I really wish I could give you some relief and say something positive about these shots - but I'm afraid I have to agree with everyone else. Sorry!
