For Film Friday today, Haydnseek has some Fuji Velvia love from the Chinatown gate. Add in the use of a lomo and some cross processing and you get a wild take on the Chinatown scene. The detail in the gate really stands out while a usually busy background is kept in the dark.

jameswilsonphoto has another great Film Friday shot. This photo is much like his others with great contrast and a good use of available light. The framing of the shot works well and makes the subject of the photo appear larger than life.

illumnight has today's Film Friday photograph, shot with his Canon 7n. This shot helps show there expansive dynamic range captured by traditional film where the Equinox sign doesn't have the appearance of being wildly blown out, while the shadows around the bases of the pyramids still contain good detail. The repetition of pyramids is an eye catcher, and the way they glow adds suspense to the shot.

light under a bushel has today's Film Friday shot featuring a fantastic innovation, the often overlooked downspout. It keeps rain from coming off the roof and drenching us, and as this photo shows, when paired with colorful walls and algae, they make for a nice colorful photo as well.

(V)oluntary (∀)mputation has today's Film Friday shot from back in 2006. There is a lot going on in the photo with many small and detailed elements. The incorporation of the sprocket holes in the frame is a nice touch as well.

Film Friday time again, and this week we have a beautiful fall shot from the Public Gardens. Gnarayan took this on Kodak Ektar 100 using a Leica M6TTL camera. The two people sitting on the dock appear to have the whole pond to themselves, and the trees really pop against the grayish skies.

JHamel has today's Film Friday photo, well photos. This triptych of the Zakim explores a few different angle of the world's widest cable stay bridge. The colors and angles are great, and the shots work well together. These images were made on a medium format camera, the Mamiya 645E using Fujicolor Pro 160S film.

Light under a bushel took today's Film Friday shot in Cambridge, on some expired Kodak Vericolor VHP 400 film. It's grainy and the focus is soft, but we still think it's a cool shot.

illumnight got a shot of an America Classic with his Canon 7N while on a photowalk with friends up in Rockport. The Bel Air has great lines and the simplicity of black and white keep the focus on the subject.

Today's Film Friday PotD by M. Gorfinkle we think fits the mood for the day. The American flag against a sunset background makes for a nice visual image as we continue moving forward.

k a t m took today's Film Friday shot in a used radiator store. Black & White photos often give good texture representation, and this photo does that very well. There is also a lot of contrast in this photo which helps separate the mass of subjects.

skazama took today's Film Friday shot with a Nikon N6006 on a flight from Reykjavik to Boston. The bold colors make some interesting geometric shapes and the world certainly looks different from 35,000 feet.

Antydiluvian took today's Film Friday shot back in July of 1978. The colors in this shot are terrific and with this perspective you get a great shot through the car and into the next one. The image has a classic feel to it and offers a great peek back in time.

Brendan McSheffrey has a great shot of Tremont street for today's Film Friday shot. This photo is a good piece of street photography.

Film Friday for this week take us to the Science Museum, home to what is apparently the world's largest air insulated Van De Graaff generator, built by the man himself. Aside from just the interestingness of the generator itself, there are some great things happening with colors that to Gnarayan & some Kodak Ektar 100.

We're taking a trip back to 2001 when Shoothead was in photography class but was already showing off some serious photographic talent. This Film Friday shot of an Epiphone guitar makes excellent use or light, space, composition, color; everything you look for in a great photograph.

Today's Film Friday photo is a great example of using lines to get people to look through your photos. Andy Davy gives us the notion of a reverse vanishing point as the lines draw you from the sides and background of the photo in and forward. The almost desaturated look makes the image feel more simple and keeps the many different elements near the bottom from overpowering your overall view.

Being Film Friday aka the start of the weekend, we thought that k a t m has the right idea with this shot. The texture of the wall is terrific and the message is a good one so grab your camera and go play!

Film Friday once again and Bostonist found a great reflection shot by illumnight. Like many great reflection photos, this once comes from the reflecting pool outside the Christian Science Mother Church. Shot with Ilford Delta DP100 film.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Looking through the archives we came across this gem of a shot of a young lady, presumably Hannah, appearing lost in introspection. Good lighting and Polaroid film give the shot a fantastic retro look and feel. Great shot Cordless_Corey.

fernweh_still took today's Film Friday shot with a venerable Holga. This is one of those pictures that everyone just has to interpret for themselves. Enjoy!

Welcome Bostonist readers to another Film Friday. This photo is another from frequent contributor light under a bushel. A unique look at what can be done with a Polaroid and some possibly expired film.

Film Friday again and this week our find takes us to Wellfleet, and the site of this shipwreck captured by Chris Seufert. This shot reminds us that the cape can be a beautiful place in winter before it gets overcrowded.

Film Friday again! And today we have a photo from light under a bushel who, when given lemons, made lemonade he says. This shot is a unique take on an ordinary set of objects, hangers. But since the film was apparently defective some shots were taken and with a little luck, problems in the film landed with some good results. One of those pictures that makes you just kind of stare and try to figure out what it is, or for the more artsy among you, what it's supposed to mean. Either way it holds our interest.

k a t m is today's Film Friday contributor. There's just something about the look of film in certain conditions, and this rainy day photo shows that. There's a softness to the grain that we just enjoy, and the scene isn't overly contrasty. The very shallow depth of field also adds to the photo and gives us some smooth bokeh, for all your bokeh-holics.
