Where do you get Photos? | Help Desk | Yakezie Forums

You can get a ton of free photos that are under a Creative Commons license on Flickr. Although the images are free, I don't use them very often because it's hard to find good ones. Users are terrible at tagging their images to make them more search friendly. 

I get a lot of images from DepositPhotos. There's a wide selection of high quality images for only $0.50. 

You should also check out the Wikipedia page of Public Domain Image Resources.

For photo credit, I'll either add the photo credit to the caption on the image or at the bottom of the blog post. It doesn't get much more complicated than adding a line like "Photo by John Smith". Remember to make sure you follow the attribution requirements of the image's owner such as linking back to their website.

Great find!  i use istockphotos.com a lot but they are a little pricier.  I just browsed around DepositPhotos and they have some nice looking stuff.

I would do what I do… take a photo and photoshop your image in it. Then you have no worries.  

I click the option for "free to share" under usage rights option in Google Advanced Search. Flickr content is indexed by Google, plus some other sites. Lately, however, I've been lazy and just using Zemanta.

Oh, those are good suggestions.  I think I will use some free ones first to get pictures for my post tomorrow.  I'll let you know how it works out.  Thanks for your help!

I've thought about buying photoshop, but I haven't yet.  That might be a good solutions because I have tons of pictures.  It might be fun learning to manipulate different pictures.  Thanks for the suggestion!

Now that I have a few places to find pictures, do you think it would be a good idea to go back to old posts and add pictures?  So far I think I about 25 posts.

Thank you for all the suggestions and replies!

I take mine and also design them from other.

If you don't have the budget for photoshop check out the Creative Kit in Google+. It's free and you can do some pretty cool photo editing (change the exposure, size, add text, etc.) and is super easy to use.

I use mostly my own photos now, but in the past I've used many from Stock.xchng:
