Brasília is known for its breathtaking architectural wonders. I never thought of looking at Brasília at night and in monochrome. I was surprised at how these government buildings got a new life. In some cases, it appears the buildings are floating in thin air. I selected four main buildings to feature in monochrome edits. If you want to see the same buildings in color, I have another post showing the exact locations in daytime and nighttime hours.
That is the story behind the shots. If you liked these photos, you might also be interested in other posts featuring Brasília, Brazil, Cityscapes, Monochrome, and Monochrome Madness. Until the next time, keep clicking and capturing the beauty your eyes find.

These images are just beautiful Egidio. The lighting on the buildings make them spectacular for night photography.

Mi piace l’architettura moderna e questi ne sono esempi illustri. Proprio interessanti.

Sono felice che ti siano piaciuti.

They look amazing at night Egidio. That last one really came out well. I thought the first one was the Lincoln centre in New York.
Egidio Leitao
I’m glad you liked them, Leanne. I was surprised how much I liked the monochrome versions.

Wow! I already saw a lot of images of Brasilia and know about the fantastic work of Oscar Niemeyer.
Wonderfully captured 👍👍👍

This was a great subject for monochrome! But these dramatic buildings work well in whatever medium you choose it seems.
Egidio Leitao
You are absolutely right; those buildings are impressive day and night, in color or monochrome. Thanks for the feedback.

Wow Egidio, these are wonderful. The Cathedral is stunning
Egidio Leitao
Thanks, Brian. I have other photos in my blog inside the cathedral.

Impressive! There’s a lot that is highlighted and becomes really beautiful when you turn your photos into monochrome. Very nice photos Egidio.

Thank you, Anita. Glad you liked them.

This are amazing, Egídio. The National Cathedral in particular is riveting. But they all look as if they are hovering because you drowned out all surroundings – great!
Egidio Leitao
I’m so glad you liked the photos, Elke. Thanks.

I see exactly what you mean about the buildings seeming to float, especially that last one! My favourite though is the cathedral, a building I’d love to see for myself!
Egidio Leitao
Thank you, Sarah. On my site, I have more photos of the cathedral, including interior shots.
