But I guess those days are over. 1 Bloor, Nicholas, 5 St. Joseph, Chaz and 42 Charles, plus others. It's going to be a noisy dusty 3 or 4 years for us in the neighbourhood but I don't care, it's nice to see these buildings go up.

Yeah i agree...Going to be Crazy, but nice to see
You can add... in the close vicinity, U-Condos, Milan, and the soon to start Yorkville Residences tower...And dont forget, Cumberland Terrace Re-development 1+2, 94 Cumberland, 1000 Bay, 906 Yonge, will most likely be breaking ground sometime between all this.

11:45 at night? What an odd time for a ground-breaking. And I doubt the mayor will be there - that's Pride week, and Yonge & Bloor is dangerously close to Church.

You know, he was actually at pride last year.

A modest attempt at fake tilt-shift.

Looks pretty good as tilt-shift goes.

I wonder where 'tilt-shift' comes from, being drunk and looking at things in a tilted, blurry way?

It's a photography term, referring to the manipulation of a physical lens on a camera that produces the "miniature" effect.

Miniature faking is not Tilt-Shift...

Tilt-Shift is used to restore lines of perspective in photography (especially in architectural photography)

A quotation from the article you referenced.

Selective focus via tilt is often used to simulate a miniature scene,[10][11] though as noted above, the effect is somewhat different from the shallow Depth of Field (DoF) in close-up photography of miniature subjects.[12] Many such images are described as employing "tilt-shift", but the term is something of a misnomer because shift is seldom involved and is usually unrelated to the effect produced. The term may derive from the tilt-shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.

Miniature faking is not Tilt-Shift...

Not solely, no, but the recent vogue of tilt-shift and its digital simulation has to do with it giving real-world scenes the appearance of miniatures.

Does anyone know how much taller than the Four Seasons this tower will be, just trying to get an idea of its height?
Thanks
