Where do you get all your images/photos? 17

[EugenePaliev]

Hi all!

Where do you get all your images/photos you use on your sites? I'm not asking for buttons, bullets and other images you may easily create in any graphic program. The question is mainly about that kind of images, especially photos, that cannot be created.

Do you photo by yourself? Do you bye it? And if so where? Do you use free stuff? And again where do you get it?

Thank you in advance! Good Luck!

I like

http://www.comstock.com

and

http://www.animationfactory.com

both are good for commercial...the comstock has thousands of photos and you can choose the different types depending on your type of usage...I know that both sites don't mind if you do not bundle their images with software and sell the software...comstock photos cost about $35 USD each...animation factory photos are free if you sign up for a year which is around $30-40 USD....of course there are different options you can choose...comstock images are stock images and are high resolution

TexanBetty's two cents

I once bought a CD entitled 40,000 photos.
It came with a 1 year subscription to clipart.com.
The cd only cost me £5 and the subscription now costs $129 or something. I have seen that CD in shops like PC World for a similar price

and use that quite a lot. Most of the images are free but each photographer can have their own requirements. There are 112571 currently available (as of 18th Jan) and they are all high quality! You'll need to optimise them for web design though.
