Arlington Row at Sunset, Bibury, England
Arlington Row in Bibury is one of the most photographed sites in all of Britain. Built in 1380 from the local golden stone of the Cotswolds, the buildings were oringally a wool store attached to a monastery and later provided housing for weavers for the local Arlington Mill.
I first shot here at sunset after arriving in town. I used f8 as my regular go-to setting to get a decent amount of depth of field in the houses coming towards the foreground while still allowing some fuzz in the background for perspective. Really, the art here was mostly in the framing. The light was not ideal because it was behind the subject and as a result I had to blow out the sky to capture the darker details, but there were some nice lens-flaring effects as the sun went down. I came back and shoot again at sunrise, but surprisingly ended up liking the sunset shots better.
