Yes, I do agree with you. Photos are really important in a blog. The common problem that I think all new bloggers really want to know is where to get free photos and really free which means can be used for commercial and non-commercial without violating any copyrights law.
Photos really make the blog more interesting. And using free photos also save us time from taking photos.

I like this article especially the links which bring us to other photo sharing sites. Thanks for sharing the tips.

Thanks for a great list, Amanda. I’ve tried a couple of the services you’ve listed, but many are new to me.

Something we want to be careful about is attributions when asked for. Many people just use the images without crediting the photographer when requested. If you don’t want to credit the photographer, then don’t use the image, plain as that!

Great list, Amanda. I’ve added a few of them to my bookmarks. I’d been using Flikr for most images, but this has inspired me to see what else is out there. Thanks.

Woow… So many of them has free images?!…

I checked it out and i think devianArt has the best pics – I used a lot of them for web designing.

Amanda – thanks for writing this article.

Actually Mike, you would be. The moment something is put into a tangible form (such as an image or in writing), it’s automatically copyrighted by the person who created it. Just because an image or other content is put on a site like Flickr does not grant you a non-exclusive royalty free license to do whatever you want with it.

That’s the point I made in my previous comment. Just because it is available online does not mean someone has permission to use it. And in situations such as those surrounding free images, no one knows if an image has been submitted to more than one site or not for inclusion in their gallery.

Free is always better because images on Flickr are usually taken and posted elsewhere As long as it’s posted elsewhere, we’re not the ones liable

One thing anyone who may want to use these images needs to do is contact the person who submitted the images to make sure they were also not acquired by or licensed to a company such as Corbis or Getty Images. Both Corbis and Getty have acquired a reputation of going after anyone who has used “their” images “without permission” – usually starting out with a threatening letter from a collection agency.

Protect yourself. Ask first.
