Want to send us your photos? You need to be a First Thing Subscriber. When you're subscribed and ready, there'll be a link to submit your own pics in the Picture of the Day section.

Guidelines: we try to be as inclusive as possible when publishing your fantastic photos. However, if you can, please try orient your camera horizontally ('landscape' format) and please, please, try send us as high resolution a photo as possible.

NOTE: We limit our weekly entries to maximum 20. If your picture's not published, please keep sending them in!

First Thing's John Stupart is very much a dog person, but we encourage all pictures.

Are you an amateur or professional photographer? While we don't have money for your pics, if you have a portfolio link or options for prints, let us know when you submit your pic and we'll do our best to include it.

Salt crystals forming as diluted tamari soy sauce dries reveal near-symmetrical structures in an everyday condiment. Salt does not display birefringence colours under crossed polarised light, so the beauty lies in its intricate crystalline geometry. Oblique cross-polarised light helps reveal delicate, thin formations. Magnified 4×. Photographer: Tian Olivier
