Some vary in quality and you might have to grind a bit to find an image you like, but I've used them loads for things like blog posts, social images and other online assets.

I really don't want to pay $15 to Shutterstock for a guys feet walking up the street, just for me to need a different video two minutes later. Is there an alternative? Anything ethically questionable or possibly frowned upon but works? :)))

To combat this and make the site look better I am thinking of creating some sketch up models (which I have done before) combined with javascript and css, putting them on the website. I was going to take snapshots at various stages from the 3d model in sketch up; e.g. walls going up, then floor goes ontop of the walls. I'm pretty sure this can be achieved in javascript, think with css3 too.

Once this is loaded I was thinking of importing the 3d model to the site, so the user can then rotate and move around the structure as he sees fit.

What are my options?

Issue #1: when searching for images for my website, I find the image (with tineye.com) in many many locations. Does that mean that I can use it as well? ( The original user is there among hundreds of users using that same image.).

issue#2: Is it ok if I partly use content (text or images) from a technical on information website, and I mention them as my reference?

I've sourced them personally and are safe to use. Enjoy!

Does anybody know where I can get a repeatable wood pattern exactly like this:

How do I reduce the size of photos for web. I mean I've cropped one photo (800x600px format: .png) and it's still around 1MB. That's clearly too much.

Any advice?

Thank you

as I am not sure if this is the right forum for announcing this so please feel free to move or delete this topic otherwise go ahead....

We have established the last months a new website for professional royalty free music also offering all tracks for completely free of charge for personal and non-commercial projects.

We are professional composers having created audio content for the last decades for all kind of media including TV, Film, Advertising, Trailers , Games ....

As we want to give something back to the community we have created easy to understand and fair license models in case you need a commercial license for your projects. Otherwise you can simply use all tracks for free e.g. in youtube videos or non-commercial websites (we do not support Youtube content ID!).

So to everyone interested check out http://www.mysoundmarket.com

I'm working on an fictional web design agency project and as part of the home page I want to include a portfolio section showing product photography shots of websites, apps and branding that this made up agency have "worked on".

I know this is a made up agency project but I want to make the design as realistic looking as possible as a project to put in my portfolio in doing so I have wrote the content "voice" for the site in my own words as though it was for real, so no tacky lorum ipsum text to pad out the site on any of the pages. Likewise same mindset for the images, I don't want to use any tacky "lifestyle" photography or cheap looking stock imagery of smiling business men in suits to use as filler images for the portfolio section.

This brings me to my question, where can I find images of fictional looking digital products that have people interacting with them, be it on a laptop/desktop or on a smart phone, similar kind of thing to what is attached (which has been taken from the portfolio of a real web design agency) is there a reputable image website for this kind of imagery where I can purchase from?

The closest thing I have found to this is to buy a few "bootstrap" agency templates that are tailored around the theme of a web design agency business website and then to extract the portfolio product shots that they have used of fictional websites and app design, but it seems like overkill to buy a few of these templates only to make use of the images and nothing else, in any case the imagery they have used are only tiny product thumbnails, I need larger product imagery that is high resolution so it can scale up responsively for desktops and scale down for smartphones and tablets.

Kind Regards

If anybody has some good ideas I would greatly appreciate some information.

I am working on a fictional website for a web design agency and on the home page I want to feature a huge hero element with an auto sliding carosel of say 3-4 images.

I need some natural looking images/shots of a creative web design team working away in a studio, it's a typical feature you see on the home page on most of these kind of websites, but like I said, because this is being designed for a made up company, I need to source the images myself.

I know I could source these kind of images from typical istock images resources, but I always find they look a bit to pristine, clean white teeth smiles and too polished looking, I want something more natural looking and raw and for the lighting to be dulled down a bit, more rustic and workmanship with a screen full of sublime text code or an image of a designers/developers hand working/interacting with a modern looking app on an iphone rather than just a blacked out screen.

Attached is what I have found so far, so that at least gives you an idea of the type of images I am looking for, but like I say I don't like the polished look of these types of images.

Any suggestions guys?

I need to give my metal art web page a facelift www.freestylemetalart.com by producing improved images of my metal art work. I have purchased a Nikon D5300 DSLR to do this. I was into basic photography 20+ years ago and am keen to kick it off again but am aware that it will take some time to get to know the camera. I have questions relating to lighting, if anyone would have the time to provide feedback regarding the following questions I would appreciate it.

Q1. Cheap lighting systems from ebay such as soft box's, are these sufficient?

Q2. Do some lights stay on all the time or do they all come on when a photo is taken (Ie like a flash)?

Q3. Feedback on what the appropriate lighting I might require would also be appreciated. You can see what I am trying to achieve by clicking on the link above to my web page, this will take you to my home page where you will find a slide show running with the photos that I have taken so far.

Cheers

Glen

Many thanks,

Does anyone know a good place to get slider images from?

Thanks

Can anyone advise on a good brand and model of HD glasses? I want to shoot video for my blog in my workshop a I am assembling projects. Is possible to get a quality pair of glasses for under $100??

Thanks

So I would like to purchase a digital camera to assist me with my metal art blog. I am thinking of the go pro style, something that can take a series of photos over a period of time and also video.

I just saw my nephew's camera on his drone helicopter, the clarity of the video was amazing. Voice is not as important because I intend to voice over when I edit on windows movie maker.

I would like; remote control, external monitor plug in or wireless option.

I would like all of this without spending go pro prices, is it possible?

Cheers

Glen

I'd like to possibly use a several minute long video as the background of my site, probably of nature, maybe of nature in Asia. The stock photo sites I know of usually only have videos that are only a few seconds long. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

While working on a website (I'm not used to do the website design) I searched for sand texture and didnt found any that fitted for my project. So I tried to make it using free brushes and it didnt worked. After 2 hours now of trying everything i could, I decides to ask to peoples who are more used to do websites if they know some textuers or brushes that can fit.

I'll try to explain you here what is the kind of sand i would like to have :

A light ochre sand quite smooth but a bit granular with some tiny imperfections like specks of sand of another color.

Thank you.

EDIT : To be more precise about the texture I would like to obtain :

http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/texture-de-sable-13910133.jpg

http://www.opalesurfcasting.net/IMG/sable.jpg

The color I am seeking is beetween those two images.

About the textuer, I would like a smoothier (dont know if this adjective do exist) background with rarest imperfection than those images.

I am currently creating bespoke social media buttons for a current project and I also want to add a "share via email" button. What I was wondering is if I use a system similar to the "AddThis" widget where users can enter an email to send to and also an email to send from. Does anyone know of any legal implications using this due to the fact that a user can send the email to anyone/any email and also from anyone/any email.

Thanks in advance!

Taking another angle, the thumbnails were intact..hurrah..so I found this http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/jpeg-snoop-uses.html

Worked a treat. At least I now have something from the corrupt file

I would really like to use this photo in a template I am designing:

http://s438.photobucket.com/albums/qq106/Selina_catz/The%20House%20of%20Grey/?action=view&current=purple-bedroom.jpg&currenttag=bedroom

Is there an easy way to find out the license of an image? I tried tinyeye and it found several results used by different websites, so not sure if I can assume its alright to use for commercial use or not.

I've tried scouring flickr and places like http://www.sxc.hu/ for free photos but I cant find anything as suitable as this image (correct colours etc).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I want to display a video on a website as part of the banner, so I want it to run continuously without any control, much like it would in Flash.

The video is a royalty free stock video purchased from Fotolia.

I thought about doing this via YouTube but have 2 concerns:

1. Whether licensing permits you to publish on YouTube

2. Whether I can get rid of the controls and have it autoplay continuously

So I've been looking into embedding the video using HTML5, and I've been reading the instructions from Dive Into HTML5 about videos, and I'm panicking about this H.264 codec. If you are just displaying a single video on your website, would this be free from H.264 licensing? I can't seem to find any info about using it in this simple way.

Any advice would be very much appreciated, or any suggestions/recommendations about the best way to do this.

Thanks

3 issues for £1 on Magazine.co.uk. A bargain if you're asking me.

Ordered myself that AND Digital Photographer in the same deal

When you need a stock photo for your designs, were is the place you get them? Why there? I am looking for a cheaper distributor than iStock.

If you are interested in this offer look at my website and email me at markscatesphotography@yahoo.co.uk I will limit the offer to say the first 10 people. First come first served. The image you want paste a link into the email

I also ask to know the location of the image used for tracking purposes

Kind regards

I have been developing interest in photography and I have decided to give it a go. Just a hobby, really, nothing more.

I have made some researches, but to be honest, I have no idea what to look for in a camera.

I have found this one, for example http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-EF-50-1-8-Lens/dp/B00005K47X

Good? Bad? What shall I look for?

Any advice will be much appreciated Thank you.

I have launched a free section within my own site http://www.vectorella.com/category/free-vectors.html where you can download vectors and icons..

Unlike many other sites which feature other artist's stolen work, these vectors on my site are all created by me and are %100 legally safe to use in commercial projects..

The free section will be growing If enough people supports it..

On the other hand, in case you are already purchasing my work from stock sites you already know, this is the cheapest place you can get them as there is no middlemen..

I hope this will be useful for many!

I already have a Fotolia account and have sourced various photos for a project last year and for whatever reason they seem to have vanished off my Mac after I upgraded (

Basically I need about 40 photos and can't afford to buy them again or subscribe again, so I wondered If I could be cheeky and sort someone out with a drink for downloading a few at a time from their account if they're not using up their monthly quota...

Anyway, if anyone could help me out, I'd be grateful if you could private message me.

Thanks in advance.

I'm a relative newbie to all of this so any advice or help is very welcome ! I am starting a fashion/travel website and I need images for the site. I really need a few hundred images for destinations etc.. and i know this could be costly so I want to get some low cost or free ones . I have trawled the net about what is free and not for commercial use but I'm still a little confused.

Is there one image website where i coild sign up for say 200 images and just pay once or what would be best for me ? My budget is not huge under £ 200 is that feasable? I just don't want to get sued by anyone !

Also, Shouldn't my web designer be able to upload from the stock stie I choose or do I have to download a save them for him?

Thanks a mill !

I inherited the website from another web design company who had designed the website before i started working for this company. I've developed the website but kept aspects of the old design like the images and content.

This morning we received a notice of copyright infringement form Getty Images demanding £1.6k if we could not prove we had the license. I contacted the web design company and luckily they said the image was downloaded elsewhere and not from getty images and that if getty want to discuss further they should contact them instead of us.

Can they really just demand money like that? Dont they have to ask us to remove the image first and charge us if we refuse?

And how did they know that the image belongs to them? How did they find the image? If what the other design company is saying is true, then I dont think they should go around issuing fines when the image could have been downloaded from another site.

Bit of a scary situation for a beginner!

already posted got no replies but under further investigation I found some free or cheap stock phot sites but I 'm not sure if I still need to buy under extended licence? I will be producing an app to accompany the website and so it would be for commercial use. Can anyone tell me if I will have o buy the more expensive extended licence or not ? I can't see how I will afford a few hundred photos at that price ??!!

Any advice ?
