Sepia Saturday

in #sepiasaturday5 years ago (edited)


This is a post for #SepiaSaturday hosted by @old-guy-photos! Admittedly, I was not much of a sepia person. The truth was, I didn't really know what to do with it. I still struggle to find shots that fit well, but, it is getting a little bit easier as I watch what others post. :))

One can never tire of the streets of Bermuda, in the North Atlantic floating all by its lonesome. It is actually only 22 miles long and a mile wide, consisting of 138 islands, eight of the largest are connected by bridges. Oh, the stories about their past! But, that is a post for another day...I take it all in, this place that once housed one of Britain's largest fleet of Naval vessels. I am not sure if you can see these #DistinctiveWindows very well. Sometime in the 18th century, the casement window married up to the wall. I do so love Bermuda! I like the feel of walking the streets of history — at Royal Navy Dockyard, Bermuda

This lovely Anglican Cathedral is eye-catching with its Gothic Revival architecture. It is built from native Bermudian limestone but the stone was imported from France. It is a taxing 155 steps to the clock tower where you get a stunning view. Yes.. I counted them - at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Hamilton, Bermuda

Doors to the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity, Hamilton, Bermuda - these #DistinctiveDoors are Early English style and the entire Cathedral dominates the skyline. A beautiful sight as you wander the streets of Hamilton. Don't forget to peek inside at the stunning stained glass.


We all know there has to be a flower in here somewhere, right? A flower. Always. As long as we are doing that, let's do a #SaturdayIndigo #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra.

Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Let's hold hands around the globe and make this earth really spin. Some days, it is not as easy to see, so we must try harder to give everyone the proper focus.


Later that night
I held an atlas in my lap
Ran my fingers across the whole world
And whispered,
"Where does it hurt?"
It answered,

"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"
"Everywhere"

I just saw a sepia while snorkelling here in the Caribbean yesterday but honestly, I don´t know what this photography style/filter is about either :D But those architectural shots look fantastic!

I had never heard about a sepia filter until someone told me about one today! I swear, why?? Unless it gives you a better idea of what will work with it?

Hey, I am a color my world kind of gal! Thank you! Architectural pictures are something I have really just started as I am usually a flower kind of person. :) But, buildings are fun!

Well, thank you so much! You know I am more flowers than anything. Throw a little prose in there and I am golden. Stretching a little. :)

You would loooove Bermuda. Absolutely peaceful and laid back. I totally recommend it. I have been there dozens of times, mostly growing up, but, I have been there twice last year and I still love it! Hope you and your hip are on speaking terms by now. ;)

Oh that Anglican Cathedral hits me just right! Those building go great with the sepia tone! You really have a good eye for that!!!

This tune always makes me want to sail away...Salt life baby!

Oh, you and that Chesney guy... LOL

Yes! The salt life! You just cannot beat it! Ask me! :) Thank you for the comments on the sepia-toned buildings. You know that architecture is not my expertise or anything even close to that. But, buildings do seem to lend a little credibility to sepia.

You know I am all about the flowers! Right?

Well, I stretched a bit for this challenge. But, tomorrow!!!! Back to flowers!

Oh, another caturday that I missed!
For me, sepia means old newspapers, photos from old, very old newspapers. Your photos fit!

Just remember you have so many old buildings that probably would work here! I have a hard time making sepia work!

Thanks for the tip!tip

My pleasure

I am sometimes lost in sepia too... B&W is much easier...

You've got some good ones here - I guess you got to go with your gut feel... When sepia gives me a late-in-the-day... evening-glow... and old-fashioned kinda feeling, I think I got it right! :)

If I went with my gut, I might never take pictures! :))

I live outside of Washington, DC... it glows a different color. :)

Yeahhh, just like Bali ~ it glows a little magic! ;)

It really does!

Every photography is pretty but doors to the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity is so much attractive.

Thank you! The cathedral doors were very beautiful and very tall! I appreciate all your comments and words. Thank you ver much!
