Many times I want to use photos on my blog or website, but don't want to borrow (steal) them from other websites. This can get you in a lot of hot water and this may help: This info was posted on Speakernetnews by speaker Donna Gunter:
Most of the illustrations that you see in my newsletters and on my site come from a stock photo company, Dreamstime (www.dreamstime.com).
Instead of having to invest several hundred dollars in a clip art membership for a year, I can buy a small number of credits as I need them from Dreamstime. At the least expensive level, it’s $20 for 20 credits, or about $1 per image. If you buy a higher number of credits, there is a price break.
Dreamstime offers both photos and illustrations. Most of the royalty-free images are 1 credit, and the higher-resolution ones that are suitable for printing run 4-5 credits. The quality of the images is wonderful, and their stock isn’t comprised of images that you frequently see elsewhere online.
If you need images for your Web site or blog, I highly recommend that you start with Dreamstime.
