Well, I read the post on taking pictures in black and white while donating plasma the other day, and I started taking pictures pretty much the moment I left BioLife. I went around back and saw hay bales and a wide valley that I have run through on a few occasions. Let’s do this, Rob. I started snapping.
First, I took some pictures out behind BioLife.
Then I hit a few more places around town, where I had previously noted some things I wanted to capture.
It was no surprise when the weekly photo prompt came in and it involves taking monos, but how to make them eerie? You can’t top the example in the prompt post without a lot of effort, and I just want it to be spontaneous and inspired. This morning I went out at dawn and took pictures around the Capitol grounds, to see if I could capture the eerie spirit:
This is the cream of the small crop I got before my phone shut down due to the excessively cold outside temperature. Fortunately, I had the wife’s trusty Canon Elph on me, and I got a lot more cool photos. When I get a chance, I’ll pick out some more to share because I got some really cool ones.
This post was prompted by the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge.

Rob's Surf Report 
You have a good eye, well you most likely have two, but one of them is good for photography! 🙂 How did the Ink go? I was looking forward to a picture of it 😛
It was more painful than I’d judged it would be. But worth it. I’ll post a picture on the Facebook page.
Saw it and replied! It’s class, I really like it, it’s colourful and it pops! Always a good sign for a tat. Health to wear 🙂
Thank you! 🙂
Black and white is always so eerie….
Thanks for the visit and ping back over at CTB 😀
And thank you. 🙂
Cool…love black and white and these are a great take on the challenge!
I’m glad you enjoyed them, I sure had fun taking them. 🙂
🙂
This is amazing! I especially liked the ones of the field and then again of the building! Good work!
Thank you, friend. 🙂
The North Dakota State Capitol’s austerity gives it a particularly eerie feeling in B&W, I think.
Thanks for the pingback 🙂
And that weird mottling on the face of the building. I still can’t figure that out!
