Where do you get your pictures from?

Hiya

I have just started a blog and was wondering whwre you get your pictures from to brighten up your blog and make it more interesting. Ig you search google images can you use whatever comes up or are there copyright issues with that?

Thanks in advance again (starting to wonder what I would do without DP!!)

Most of the time I search on google. I also search for images in photobucket.

 

I dont think they are copywrited. Only few may be there you can see use them.

You can also use rediff image search.

 

Use public domain images. No copyright issues with them.

This is a good starting point.

For free ones http://www.sxc.hu/

 

you can search flickr for photos that give you rights to republish.

 

Spend some money on a good camera and take your own pictures.

edit: and buy a good tripod---then use it!

 

Flickr is the best source for images. You can post the link of the picture as Flickr URL....

 

I get most of my pictures from sxc.hu and Flickr.

 

For your purpose, definitely try take your own photos and watermark them.

Or get explicitly licensed images.

 

Thanks guys x

 

try royalty free images

 

Yes, there are so many amazing pictures on Flickr that you can legally use. Here's the introduction to how Flickr and their Creative Commons licensing works: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

 

Thanks for the tips and the links

 

I search google images or photobucket. Sometimes both.
