One Bloor
One Bloor is a sleek residential tower at the corner of Yonge and Bloor, one of Toronto's busiest intersections, and its curved glass facade and dramatic verticality make it a strong architectural subject. Shooting from street level looking straight up gives you a compelling compression of glass and sky, especially when clouds are moving through the frame. The corner position means you can capture two distinct faces of the building depending on where you stand, and including the surrounding streetscape adds context and scale. Overcast days help reduce harsh reflections on the glass, while blue hour offers a nice balance between the lit interior windows and the fading sky. A wide angle lens works well for the upward perspective, though stepping back across the street lets you fit more of the tower in frame without extreme distortion. The nearby subway entrance and street activity can also add foreground interest. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada)
