Canada Olympic Sculpture
This striking modernist sculpture stands outside the Montreal Olympic offices, its bold geometric form making it a rewarding subject for architectural and fine art photographers. The piece works especially well at dusk and into the evening, when the surrounding ambient light balances with any artificial illumination to bring out texture and dimension in the metal surfaces. Try shooting low and close with a wide angle lens to exaggerate the sculpture's scale against the sky, or step back with a short telephoto to compress it against the building facade behind. Look for reflective surfaces and abstract details that reward tighter compositions. The site is easily accessible on foot and gives you room to circle the sculpture and experiment with angles. Visit on overcast days for even, diffused light that reveals surface texture without harsh shadows. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
