Another good free site is pixabay.com, and no attribution required.

Thanks to Debbie Gartner 

I think most of us do, when possible. That Debbie Gartner is a sweetheart!

Free is a 4-letter word.   Be careful before you download anything. 

I always try to look out for other members. If I notice a typo, I will send a private message and point it out. I'm not the typo police. I have my fair share...trust me on this. My mind often travels faster than my fingers. 

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor Although the photos are free, make sure they are also free for commercial use.

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor - I love this site and have used in past in my posts with apporpriate credit.

Now I have just purchased lots of them...

I subscribe to a site to use their photos, so not to get in trouble.   Nice to hear Women of Manchester were looking out for you!

Thanks for the tip! I use only my own pictures now, but it is great to know. 

I just take my own photos and use some clip art I've owned since my days of a graphic artist.

I use just my own photos.  

Yes of course it somethng doesn't look right I would let a fellow Rainer know.

I will check out pixabay, thank you.

It pays to be careful, lots of getty sharks out there looking to catch you.

Thanks Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor So important to not cross the barrier of illegal use of phtos whether in print or onl. We apprecated your post.

I am taking a sabbatical. I refuse to answer on the grounds it may tend to elimate me.

I decided a long time ago to pay for the pics I use within my posts, social media, etc. Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor ... if not using my own photos.  Yes, it's a cost ... but I can sleep at night not worrying about issues arising.

I've learned the best way for me is to take my own or use royalty free software I purchased and have a license for.

If I use someone else's photo I ask permission

Good going WoMWT!  I do a Google image search with the filter set to free to use/modify.

Good to know, thanks.

that's good information....

Like Liz and Bill Spear mentioned ... I use Pixabay a lot. 

Thomas,

We take our own or buy them.  The cost is minimal, for peace of mind.  A

I shoot my own photos. Aerial photos, my company pays for and allows us to use them on our sites.

We use Shutterstock - not free - thanks for the tip!

Thx so much for shoutout and email.  Just trying to look out for you.  I was getting my hair done, so didn't get to read the attribution.  I figured better safe than sorry.

and, yes, there are some sites like that which I use as well - some paid, some royalty free.

Thanks for the info, Thomas.  I buy images if I don't have any matching the theme of the post.  I'll check out the free options.  

Yep, there are many sites that let you do this.

Thanks for sharing this advice. 

Free is good

Who doesn't like free? Free photos, help and samples? Long live free!
