Free Images?

    Hey,

    I run a car site and I was wondering how I could use the images for my blog? I don't want to run into any copyright problems. But I need the car images.

    What should I do?

    Thanks,

    Yeah, you can purchase rights fairly cheaply to some images of cars.

    Have you thought about checking car fan cluibs? I am pretty sure many wouldnt mind you using their actual car, if you asked first of course and gave a link back to their forum,site,whatever on some page or another (Maybe create apage where you give credits for various images. Some may just want you to say its their car. Who knows, its wortha try!)

    Wouldn't visiting a car showroom do the trick? Like visit it. Snap a few photos, tell the dealer you need to show the Mrs to make she doesn't rip your knackers off for buying a car she doesnt wan't then just never go back. (Not sure of the legal side of this, but you there, you took the photo so by those standards you shouldnt be breaking any copyright of any kind.)

    Car clubs are one of the best for this if i remember correctly as they all want to show off their cars. I guess it all depends on what you need the image for exactly as to whether they would let you.

    Hope it helps.

    I agree with cocodboss though,
    Theres nothing better than using your own images,
    It gives you the ability to do what ever you want and if you have a decent quality camera you will get alot better quality than most free stock photo's...
