I know some of us are always looking for free stock photos and I came across a great place that I wanted to share in case it hasn't been posted before. It's free and some really good images.

PhotoDisc

Sorry, but no, not free. Free comps, yeah, so I guess you could use the photos just for playing around if you can get rid of the photodisc watermark thingy. But certainly not free for professional use. I used PhotoDisc in my previous job at a graphic design company. PhotoDisc pictures are expensive, single images are anywhere from 30 to 180 bucks depending on the resolution you need. We would show the comps to the clients and ask them if they wanted the photos used with the understanding the cost would be on their bill.
Free good stock photos are indeed hard to come by ...

Hi.
<insert shameless plug here>
You can try this: http://www.snagyourpic.org/
It's a resource site that me and some others set up just for sharing and providing photo-material to webdesigners. It is totally free, and the pics can be used for private AND commercial jobs.

The idea is based on ppl contributiong images for others to use freely in order to be able to do that themselves.

this is a quote from the "Legal Stuff"

quote:
2. The photos submitted must be original personal property of the contributor. They cannot be extracted from another source such as a website, magazine, or video where the contributor is not the author and owner.

3. We do not profit in any way from the photos submitted to SnagYourPic. Therefore, we do not compensate the contributor for the photos that are uploaded to the website. The photos are then available for free access for personal or professional use.

4. SnagYourPic does not claim copyright privileges to any photos that are submitted to the site. The submitter has the right to extract his photo or photos from the website at any time.


<end shameless plug here>

It's a fairly new site, so it's not that much in there yet, but if we all pitch in there will be a lot more :-)
Hope you like it.

Stock photos can be nice I guess... I like photography though, so taking my own photos is much more enjoyable.
