Where to get free photos?

[telekinesis]

Where can I get photos for free, without having to worry about some moron emailing me saying that I owe him money for using his scenery (Corporate America lets this happen)? Just stock photos: buildings, nature, animals, humans. I want to experiment with photo manipulation, but I need some photos first....can anyone help?

[andr.in]

YEAH I want some too!
I've looked all over the net for them... found none!

[andr.in]

Well I was looking for a sunset and found one in a sample pictures folder in 'My Documents' folder on XP. This is what I got with 20 minutes of being bored at work:

wtf? omg thats good! what did you use? just brushes and dodges and junk? either way its AWSOME! :P. good job as usuall!

[mdipi]

nvm i see a lot of diff filters. but still very good!

[telekinesis]

I used like two filters, no brushes, a lot of messing with layers, colors, and reflections. Sorry, but again it's only 20 minutes of work, so I really don't care....just felt like sharing!

[lostinbeta]

That is incredible Dan..

yorkshirepuddin: Thanks for that link! I finally found where I got my pics for "Sunflower Escapades" (in the D&D section or on my site if you want to see). I have been looking allover for the site where I got them, but they have been on my comp for quite some time.

[andr.in]

[eilsoe]

I'm curious about those white things.. looks techy and kinda like bright cigarette smoke...


SHARE Dan :P

[sintax321]

He used the Nexus. Obviously he was pulled inside and snapped a few photos, thats all...
ya, the nexus.....


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

If I knew thats all it took I would have jumped into mine along time ago.:P

Here is another great site -=x[ click here ]x=- (http://www.freeimages.co.uk/)

It has a ton of objects such as money, wires, credit cards, lights - lots of inanimate objects that are nice to have at your disposal :) If there is a section that says you have register, just do it, its free and they dont mail you anything afterwards. 90% of the site is not password protected though... Have fun!

[andr.in]

nice footer sureshot! :)

[Kitiara]

I always use www.visipix.com (http://www.visipix.com) for images. They're all royalty free etc, and the majority are good quality. They also dislike Microsoft, if you read the small print.

i'll go get my magnifying glass Kit :P and btw i luv ur new look...its more .... YOU :)

[SureShot]

Thanks alot Syko - it's my first ever footer and I have been on some boards for over 3 years :) I figured it was about time I got "somewhat" creative:asian:

[emir]

it will be better to install WebShots and take so many free professional photos - damn good
Only you have to change format of photos and you can do that simply in Paint adding bmp...

so: www.webshots.com

[upuaut]

I love that footer btw

just keep in mind the forum rules for footers everyone.. since we have a lot being created. I think it's something like 300 by 60 by 15k.. or close to that.
not that anyone is going to get into serious trouble over a footer.. but I know that the Kman does crack down periodicaly. :)

[upuaut]

you know Dan.. that applies to us mod too.

big brother K 0) watches us all... muhahahaha :beam:

[Kitiara]

and btw i luv ur new look...its more .... YOU
Guess I didn't have anyone fooled with the 'angelic' thing then? :)

[time2design]

I'm ALWAYS on the lookout for free photos.

You know, for a designer to not make much money, we sure are expected to pay an awful lot for stuff: photos, fonts, software!!!

At least Mac & cheese is still inexpensive. :P

Check these out, not great, but there's some good stuff:

http://www.intuitivmedia.de/index2.htm

(and their new site)

http://www.intuitivmedia.net/

http://www.thinkstock.com/


And if you're just looking for some 72dpi stuff to mess with, you can always download some decent stuff from the big boys like comstock.com et al.


Hope that helps a bit,

t2d

[mdipi]

ok Dan how did you do that beam of light?

[Kitiara]

Dan is too clever for his own good sometimes. :)

I use places like www.stockphotos.com (I think that's the URL). Just a search on Google for stock photos. A lot of them you have to pay for, but you find the occasional gem. And if you're altering them to this extent anyway... :)

[SureShot]

Here is a great site - just register (it's free) and there are a ton of royalty free images.

http://www.comstock.com/web/default.asp?

[mdipi]

ohh i got a good photosite. i just want to know how he did that light lol

[Alex]

i have been waiting for web sites like theses, usally i just do a search on google, but these links helped me out alot.


Thanks! :)
