As my istockphoto.com account has switched to a new credit pricing model, the small amount of images I need are getting very pricey. I could not buy any images for a month, then all of the sudden need about a hundred, then the next week I could need 5. So, it doesn't seem worth it to get a subscription which costs a lot because they assume you download the max.
I can obviously google for a list of sites but I am wondering what other community members have found success with for similar cases like mine.
Hi Jordyn! I usually just use free creative commons photos, unless there's one really specific photo that I can't find, then I'll purchase it one-off. Some of the sites that I've used for free creative commons pics are:
I just found this one, and I really like the style they have going on. Not particularly searchable, as far as I can tell, but they send a free pack every month, which are free for commercial use. Or you could subscribe and get more access for $20/month.
So this may be a silly question, if I go to Bing and search for an image that is public use can I use it in my course or do I have to check further on the website for the license etc.

Thank you for sharing Pamela. Very useful!
Hi Jordyn,
Here are the sites I use to find copyright free images:
Pixabay - http://pixabay.com/ - I use this one most often
Wikimedia - http://commons.wikimedia.org/
Wikipedia - article with list of copyright free image/photo sites
Thanks for asking,
Agnieszka
My favorite is http://search.creativecommons.org/
It let's you search multiple sources from the same web page.
I use iclipart.com. It has a plentitude of stock photos and the annual rate is very reasonable.
Thanks everyone!
