    I think your skies are blown and theres not enough detail in the shadows to help this image. A challenging shot with such discrepancies in light. 2 exposures blended in LR or PS would have been the way to approach this IMHO.

    Yup. It was a horrible day to try get anything out of this kinda shot.
    I bought filters after this outing :)

    ND Grad filters are a good start. But you have to remember that in this case they would hold back the sky for you but also the top of the ruins too. So 2 exposures (1 for the sky and another for the foreground) and blended together may be a better approach. ND grad filters are really best for landscapes where you have a horizon

    Brilliant thanks for that. I got much better shots that day when the sky wasnt involved – They are in the abstract section.
    The double exposure is something i never even thought of! I’ll bring the tripod with me next time. Thanks for the tips Markst33. Much appreciated!
