The Wrigley Building
The Wrigley Building is one of Chicago's most iconic early skyscrapers, its gleaming white terra cotta facade and distinctive clock tower making it a standout subject along the Chicago River. The classic composition is from the Michigan Avenue Bridge, where you can frame the building against the river with the Tribune Tower nearby for context; shooting from the south bank of the river at water level also works well and puts the reflection in play on calm days. Blue hour and dusk are ideal, when the building's exterior lighting kicks in and the warm sky creates strong contrast against the bright white facade. A 24-70mm lens covers most angles comfortably, though a longer focal length lets you isolate the clock tower details. The riverwalk below Michigan Avenue gives you low perspectives close to the water without traffic interruptions. (Chicago, Illinois, United States)
