Stock photography sites:

Deker's Post...

I am going to create a resource thread for the forum and *hopefully* reduce the number of posts we get asking for free hosting sites, or stock photo sites, or font sites, etc.

I searched the forum as well as google and came up with this list in about an hour.

If you have any links to add, or categories that you think should be added, then please reply to the thread and post them.

I will pull the link and put it in this list, and then delete your post, so that we can keep it semi-organized.

http://www2.fotocommunity.de/ - In German

http://www.photocase.de/ - in german but still navigable because of the slick design.

http://living-jewels.com/photo.htm - hi-res shots of tons of different kinds of beetles. I think all the images are copyrighted and should not be downloaded, but it is good for reference anyway.

http://www.yesterme.com/pinups.html - NEW! - Lots of pictures of "pinup girls". Not sure if they are royalty free or not, so be sure to check before downloading and using them.

I have a couple of indexs on servers with images.

These are:
http://www.desktopia.com/people.html - female models
http://www.salestime.com/ijams/images/computers/ - computers
http://www.the-atomizer.de/indus/frameset.htm - Industry stock

desktopia isn't really stock pics... more like desktops form what i see

photo.net

One place that has a lot of images is EBAY. Use discretion though, because not all are up for grabs. I've found they are useful if you need something that isnt so obvious and can be mutated enough so no one will identify it.
But there are a plethora of pictures available.

You should remove http://www.snap-shot.com/ The only thing i got when I chose a category is a series of pop up banner... and no scetion at all!!!

cool, theres quite few to go through.

people can just save up there links and reply to this thread with wih it so that it would be less troublesome, I think its better if more people contributed, stock sites tutorial etc. so the site would be more resource oriented instead of "newbie help".

www.theforumisdown.com (drag and drop links for pics if you aren't a 'select' forum)

unmondo.com is no more for an undetermined amount of time. stacey (aka flak from were_here) lost the job that was hosting the site. :( but she said hopefully it will return in the future
