All months of the year are suitable to photograph The Center building.
At night, The Center beautifully illuminates into a range of color (purple, blue and green).
Field tips
By using a wide-angle lens (16mm) you’ll be able to frame the buildings hovering along Peel Street as well as The Center building.
I love to capture a subject in the middle of my images to put the environment into perspective. Be patient and wait for the right moment to cross into your frame.
Cars drive along Peel Street so if you have a tripod you can capture their light trails.
The skyscraper changes its color (purple, blue and green) which can give your images different feels. Capture what works for you!
