When it comes to photos, I usually go to a stock photography site and search down the photos that look like what I want. In all the websites I've designed, I have a hard time using the photos that I've taken as my camera is not the greatest. My question for you is...

 

do you use your own photos or ones from a photography site like Stock Exchange?

 

I would like to invest in a good digital camera, but is it really worth it if I'm not going to even use the photos I take?

I use my own pictures, since I am so picky and can't never get the pics I want , how I want them elsewhere. As per the camera, I have a $150 camera that does wonders, so price is not the issue, just learning how to use your equipment.

Taking my own pics would be difficult; I don't think I have the skill or the camera quality!

I use my own pictures. I believe in building quality websites and I am against any form of plagiarism. I don't consider using stock photos plagiarism as long as you have the rights to use them, but I'd rather create/ display something unique.

I also use my own digitial camera. I too am very picky about my finished product. I certaintley think that your own camera is the way to go. You will end up paying for it in a year. I did. Echos

Hi

 

Sometimes it's easier to use a better quality image some else has taken. I tend to use stock images and have found some good sites to get them from. Here's a few

I do take my own photos as well and use a Fujifilm S5500.

 

Good luck

You can take some amazing pictures without much trouble with a 3MP cam. My $150 camera is a 6MP HP camera! Camera quality is an issue of the past really
