I think this is the correct section of the forum to ask this. I am looking for images i can use on a recipe blog i own, am i allowed to use google images? Or dos anyone know where i can find any that im allowd to use on my blog , that will not get me in trouble for using them?
most images you will run accross online will be copyright which you are not allowed to use without permission or licensing from the copyright ownr (usually the photographer) There are other alternatives though. Food is one of the most common subjects for photography though, so there ought to be to plenty of alternative ones you can use. You can find a Creative Commons image (creativecommons.org) and their licenses are like a partial copyright usually allowing you to use the photo, and you usually just have to give the author credit. Flickr, one of the internets biggest an most reliable photo-hosting sites has a feature called Creative Commons Search, which is located on the 'Advanced Search' page and allows you to search for only images you can use for your site. The other option is to try to find a free royalty-free stock image photography site, like stock xchange, but I think there will be enough great shots on flick in creative commons to satisfy anything you need. Hope this helps, best of luck (and who doesn't like food and recipes? )
