Sepia is one of the effects readily produced within digital cameras as well as post editing software, yet it is one I rarely resort to because it signifies vintage photography and hence aged subjects seem best.
The above chalets at Harwich are fairly old though not vintage since the tradition of beach huts began even before the heyday of Queen Vic when they were mobile and pulled into the sea for ready bathing and changing.
“Sepia pigment was originally made from sepia cuttlefish, and used to treat photographs. Sepia-treated prints are more durable and designed to last longer. During the developing of the print, sepia pigment would be added and it would turn any remaining silver in the print into a sulfide” ourpastimes
And here’s one I made from a B&W image using layers etc in Photoshop – just add tint, noise and vignette. No cuttlefish.

What lovely photographs Laura and both are perfect for our Colour photo challenge. The last one is intriguing, where was it taken?
Enjoyable prompt – photo taken at Rhos on sea in North Wales
Thank you, Laura
+1 Lovely images and the sepia evokes the melancholy of abandoned spaces.
Thank you – Yes melancholy for places but wistful for wedding photos as sepia popular in that medium
Lovely sepia, the beach huts is my favourite one, it really does look old.
thank you – shooting into the sun with that one – they are a good subject for sepia
Toll booth from a pier that died before I was born. Such skilled stonework.
well done on locating the history of this Rhos-on-sea toll booth – all that remains after the pier was dismantled 2 years after I was born 😉
