Film Friday regular Haydnseek took today's PotD shot with a LOMO. The great colors and cross processing really make this one come alive.

.laz seems to have put himself into the right place at the right time to get a terrific sunset picture of Boston. As the name implies, the slice of red nicely covers the city as blues and browns dominate the sky and water. The clouds are full of texture and substance, while the sailboats are a great addition to the Charles.

We kick off July with a black & white. photosbyfletch is working on a water series around Boston and appears to have gotten into his work judging by today's photo. The photo has a great sense of movement and the contrast is spot on.

Escher-esque in appearance, this photo by Pixilista is an excellent example of creative perspective. Taken at the ICA, the interesting patterns and geometric shapes really take you through the photo.

This HDR shot comes from photographer Brian Matiash. Brian and a friend had Trinity Church all to themselves for a brief time on Saturday and came out with some excellent images.

For Film Friday (YAY!!) today we have a photo from rawheadrex. With fake tilt-shift all the rage in some circles we thought we'd bring you a real tilt-shift miniature shot on Kodak Portra 160NC. Excellent capture!

Pearl in u took a great shot while shooting at the Butterfly Place in Westford. The shallow depth of field helps isolate the butterfly, and the amount of detail is considerable.

Today's photo by Shoothead shows what a little thinking outside the box will can do. Reflection shots are not uncommon but this one is exceptionally well done. The effect here is more of a double exposure look than a simple reflection.

Molly Merrick shot today's photo at a small carnival in Chestnut Hill. We liked the way the water was lit and then spent some time trying figure out those fishes.

Well, it's Monday and the answer is yes. We'd love to spend a couple of days at the beach having as much fun as Chris Seufert while he was shooting this:

AaronBBrown took out a Panasonic DMC-LX3 and came up with a nice angle of the Hancock Tower. The roadway frames the building nicely and there is enough fog to give a nice even light to the shot.

Moving from a black & white photo, charlieontheradio made good use of selective color in this shot from Swampscott. The desaturation of the background gives an aged feel to the photo and helps isolate the subject. We're really digging all the small details in the sand.

shyto has our Wednesday PotD this week with an exceptionally strong black & white image. The detail in this image is amazing, you can feel the grain of the leather or the coolness of the steel just by looking at it. Composition is also solid and the image is sure to promote a reaction from the viewer.

In contrast to yesterday's colorful PotD, today untitledfragment is taking us to the other side of the spectrum with this evening look at the Longfellow. The green tones are unusual and work well with the orange-brown of the sky.

What better way to start the week than with something a little on the loud side. photographynatalia grabbed this super-saturated shot at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park in Lincoln. Definitely a unique artistic interpretation, and one that we love.

atomicjeep has today's Film Friday shot. This Esplanade shot was taken on Fuji Superia and has great tonal qualities. The photo also has some natural vignetting which helps with the framing.What we love most about this photo however are the reflections in the foreground and the soft waves on the water.

historygradguy was around Arlington station when they opened the new Arlington street entrance and came up with this shot. The perspective and tones are good, and the "light at the end of the tunnel" composition is solid.

mer-made has a shot from an ongoing photography project which reminds us that life can get a little hectic at times. The apparent lack of formal composition actually lends itself well to the photo.

joscelynb has a view of Fenway for us before tonight's Sox/Yankees matchup. With 300-esque processing the reds of the banners and bricks really stand out in this image. The repetition and angles add interest as well.

katherineofchicago from surprisingly, Chicago, has this shot from the Riverside station on the D Line. The silhouette and lens flare definitely make this shot a keeper.

atomicjeep took this shot along the Charles. It's a great Film Friday throwback taken on Fuji Superia. The tranquility of the scene is pleasing, and it certainly makes us want to skip out on work and go relax by the water.

Contributor nathantia joined other members of the flickr Boston, Massachusetts group for a night shoot from Piers Park. Although there are many great shots from that meetup, this one stands out for us. The fog encompassing the city, the golden colors, the composition, and the softness of the water all add upon each other to complete an excellent photo.

The.D80.Project makes great use of lighting and color in today's PotD. But the solid reflections are what really sell the photo.

In contrast to yesterday's vibrant PotD, today's photo by ilumnight is a simple but well done photo. The tower, and scene, seem straight out of an old King Arthur movie, and the blue gradient covers a great range of hues.

iMatthew has an abstract shot for today, a closeup of some exceptionally colorful marbles. The colors and patterns are both fun and interesting, and the focus is spot on. A great macro shot.

haydnseek is our Film Friday photographer this week. This photo was taken in South Boston, and as Bill succinctly puts it "Train tracks and film just seem to go together." Not only do the lines lead you into the photo, but there is so much to explore once you're drawn in, and even the trash seems to have some symmetry.

me_ram adds a little joy and frivolity to the world with a shot of the Zipper, a 3 axis ferris wheel. Some light, a little motion, and a slow shutter speed can show you a scene as it never really existed.

The interiors of churches are always difficult locations for photographers, but Lil bra did an excellent job with this shot. By using a small aperture, Lil bra was able to get some exceptional lighting effects from the front doors of the church. In addition to getting a good exposure inside the church, Lil bra kept the lighting on the stained glass from getting blown out.

historygradguy found a little repetition. Resembling chess pawns these columns have great texture, and the lighting is spot on.

.laz took today's picture while walking at the Haymarket. The detail is spectacular and the choice of subject is unusual. The colors are a contrasting mix of oranges and blues, and the perspective adds to the photo.
