Just a composition tip. for architecture shots like 5 and 6, try to get the base line of the building (or apparent baseline of the building) in shot and either parallel to the bottom of the frame, or in line with an obvious vanishing point  .
Do you use PS? Another tip to try with architecture is to use the warp tool to straighten the building up a bit so it doesn't look like it's laying back so far... you've obviously had to get very close to the building to get these shots, so I wouldn't expect you can achieve much with warp though  .

Thanks mate! I only have a 350d so trying to frame in the dark was hard. I literally could not make out, the brick lines to line up with. On the tripod I have a ball-mount, then a tilt/pan head piggybacked on top. Perhaps I should have removed, the ball mount and just shot with the tilt / pan. My tripod is shocking too, it is actually a halogen light tripod, not a photography one. I think I actually may have had it lined up perfectly, yet it seems the mount is tilting back to the left after locking off. Actually I am pretty sure that is the issue, just checked it then.
So, glow = no go. Got it, I didn't realise that was something identifiable as an error. Nice, I will make sure I don't do that again... Thanks, this is what I need to know!

Might want to try EasyHDR or Photomatix for the HDR processing. How about for the next try photographing the inside of the church, you may get some really interesting results of the light coming in through the leadlight windows |
Thank you!! I am using picturenaut as photomatrix unregistered, leaves water marks, I'll check out EasyHDR though.
Yes, I will ask permission to photogragh inside. I didn't think the resident, would appreciate me knocking on their door at 1am.
