If you step on that posted property, though, you are trespassing. No gray area about that either.
Making the photo is one thing; how you can legally use it is another matter. To use it for any commercial purpose, you'd best get a release from the property owner.
Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs ...

These people don't try to use them commercially though. It's just a hobby. An illegal hobby. While it is definitely illegal, I consider it morally gray because as long as you don't harm the property in any way you usually aren't causing any harm. Usually. I saw a photo set from an abandoned hospital where they took pictures of files on the ground and that had some personal information which was harmful, but that's a highly specific situation and most abandoned structures don't have sensitive information laying about like that.
If you do this, the code for Urban Exploration is to not touch anything. Just view it, photograph it, and leave. And remember that what you are doing is illegal.
