Thanks to a suggestion on this forum, I have begun to use Flickr Creative Commons for my photos. If a photo is there and says "All rights reserved" am I able to use it for free if I credit the photographer? What language do I look for to know that it is okay to use the photo for free? Thanks!
That's a really good question! I look forward to seeing some of the responses…
In my ignorance I have just been using the photo and still giving credit. I haven't received any notifications/emails stating that I've done something wrong, but it would be nice to know what the law/rule says. :)
If I'm not using an image provided by Zemanta, I just use the Google Advanced Image Search and select "Only images labeled for reuse. Conditions might apply." Flickr photos are indexed by Google.
I'm looking for editors, beta-readers, and some demographic research for my upcoming novel, Once Upon a Saturn Moon. If you like reading soft sci-fi thrillers, maybe with a touch of romance thrown in, you can find more information at http://seampublishing.com/once…..aturn-moon

I didn't realize that google had the option to select images that are labeled for reuse. I normally use flickr's advanced search for Creative Commons images. Even if it is free to use, you will still need to link back to the source of the image.
You would need expressed permission to use the image but that being said most photographer don't mind as long as you credit them. I would reach out to the photographer and let them know what your goal is for using their photo.
On a side note… Many people use photos without permission and nothing ever happens so the fact that you are inquiring shows you care.
