I was just wondering what people thought of this effect, and whether you use it or not.

I personally love it, you can make the most modern thing look old or traditional. Here's some of my photo's using sepia. Sorry about the quality, can't afford a camera but my phone does the trick (well, 99.999% of the time anyway...).

Yeah...it's pretty cool.

I like it better when done with chemicals on an actual print instead of just digitally editing it.

i found i use sepia more when taking photos indoor, just like black and white it helps my camera not have to focus on all the colours and just capture the pictures, it makes it have a faster shutter speed and less blurriness:

when i tried to capture the images in colour it took so long because of the low lighting that he moved before i could take it (no flash photography was allowed)

black and white was just as good as sepia :)
